Effect of Lost of Job

[1_big_dude]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina

My ex-wife's job is in jeopardy. If she loses her job, will my child support amount increase? Just for future reference, if I were to lose my job in the future, would the amount owed in child support decrease?

In answer to both questions - it might, if someone files for a modification. Until then? Nothing changes.

What exactly is involved in "modification" and how long of a process is that?

Thanks for your help!
