An appeal to the court to reduce the support can be done if income has declined or there is an argument to make about extenuating circumstances that you feel the court did not take into consideration. These may include custody of another child or financial hardships; if you have another child to support, the law allows for asking to reduce child support. If you had become unemployed since the amount of his payments were calculated, the judge may say you can reduce support.
Check with your own attorney to make sure your children's position is best represented.
