Child support is primarily a function of your income. If it has decreased since the last order, you should file for a modification. If the previous order contemplated childcare the children are not now using, that would work as well. Note, if you have the children more than 90 days each year, you will receive a discount on child support because you are considered to have shared custody. Good luck.
