My husband and his ex have joint custody what are the chances of getting child support eliminated?

You can certainly try to reduce the child support, and have her sign over the tax dependency status. This means hiring a family lawyer and trying to get the court to see that since there are more overnights with the father than before there should be less payments. From past experieence I anticipate the mother will fight very vigorously to keep the money the same, or even have it increased. Her children with other men is not an issue for the court. The court considers the best interest of the child, and the ability of the father to pay, NOT that the mother has made a career of getting child support. Keep in mind that these applications are never easy for the father, and there is always the possibility the court will rule in favor of the child's mother.

On my profile there are several legal guides. I recommend reviewing the following which may be helpful to you:
