If his income has changed again, you can file a motion to modify child support based on his new income.

Ex was in the military. Retired July 2nd. Petitioned the court for child support reduction based on unemployment status. Went to court in August and the courts awarded the reduction. I have since found out he is working for the US postal service; starting in the month of September. It is believed he knew he had the postal job prior to going to court. He also asked for a reduction in paying child support but at the same time purchased a new home for $250K. He also was in contempt of court of a child support order already in place when he went to court in August. What can I do if anything.
