More details to this question:
My ex-wife has been threatening me with raising my child support even though she is getting the amount that she requested from our devorce decree. Is this possible? I live in Florida and she is currently living in Colorado( although she bounces around a lot). I havent seen my son in 2 years and before that it was 2 years. She was married to another man and since they divorced she is hounding me for more money.

Yes child support is modifiable after a final judgment. Child support is based upon the income of the parties and calculated using the Florida child support guidelines worksheet. Also considered are day care expenses, health insurance and the amount of time spent with each parent. If the child spends no time with you, that will not work in your favor. If your income has increased, or her income has decreased it could warrant a modification of child support.
