The answer to your question is yes; in fact, you need to do this as otherwise you could be found in contempt for failing to pay the court ordered support; you can either file a formal written stipulation and order to temporarily relieve you of the obligation or alternatively, if your ex does not agree, file a motion with the court to be relieved of the obligation.
