More details to this question:
I am currently facing un-employment and looking to relocate overseas with my wife to find employment. Should I file to have my child support reviewed from a previous marriage prior to relocating or when I relocate and obtain new employment where I will be leaving overseas.I want to do this right the 1st time and only once. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

While the desire to "do this just once" is understandable, it is not realistic -- child support may be adjusted whenever "changed circumstances" arise -- and you are apparently facing two of consequence: unemployment, and new employment/relocation. If you wait, the current order (whatever it is) will remain in effect regardless of your unemployment until and unless someone asks to modify it; support is not modified retroactively.
So your choices are to file to modify once when unemployed, and again when re-employed, or to stipulate with your ex for a temporary modification, and then a permanent one once you have a different income level.
