Generally, a parent does not get to lower their child support payment to the parent of their first child, because they now have a child support payment for a second after-born child. Also, if he is seeking a downward modification of his child support obligation to you, based upon his obligation to the mother of his second child, whom he has remarried and is living with, he is unlikely to prevail. Consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

I need more facts than you have given. Afterborn children basically get the short stick in Florida.
