Go to the florida statutes web page and download the child
support worksheet. fill it out with the new information and
see what your payment obligation would be under the new
circumstances. If substantial enough, file a petition for
modification of child support citing the new circumstances
and attaching the worksheet. If the change is substantial,
there is a good likelihood of getting your support payment
modified.
