Losing your job doesn't automatically lower child support obligations. You can petition the court to modify the child support order, but you'll likely need to show that your change in circumstances is substantial and ongoing, such as a significant decrease in income or prolonged unemployment. It's important to consult with a family law attorney to understand the specifics of your situation and how to proceed.
