question

What is the name of your state? TN

Erin.

My question is that my ex-wife and I are on good terms, and she said that I should try to lower my support payments because they take half of my pay every month. It doesn't matter one way or another, but the cost of living is so outrageous, that I am actually thinking of doing it. 1, how would I go about doing that? 2. Is that the right course of action.

There is something that you can do without going to court. Since you and ex are on good terms and your ex doesn't mind the CS being lowered, would ex be willing to simply refund part of the payment to you? This is an easy least expensive way of accomplishing what you both want.

Another simple thing they can do is submit an agreed entry, which agrees on the amount of deviation, express the legal reasons why a deviation makes sense (be it parenting time increased since it was set, mother's income increased or what ever the legal reasons are -- have no idea in this situation) and then the court would sign off on it and submit the order to CSEA.
