Nothing will change your support order other than taking it to court and filing a motion to modify support while you are unemployed. If you and your wife agreed, you need a formal document submitted to the judge to sign off on before it is of any legal effect. You need a lawyer. You can go to the Family Court Facilitator, who is a lawyer who serves without fee. Go to your local courthouse and get the advice you need to make the changes, and don't waot- until there is a change you are fully responsible for all ordered support even if your child lives with you 100% of the time. There may be some offsets to support, called Jackson credits, but you need to move on this.
