No, generally this is not a circumstance that would justify a modification of child support, it is most likely that a court will consider him to be voluntarily unemployed. P.S.

Just would like this clarified regarding modification of child support. Again, my ex is claiming a substantial change in income and served a motion to modify child support. If my ex spouse claims he was fired from his job and the reason why was because he didn’t show up one day and the employer fired him for it, will this justify a involuntary action so he can get child support lowered? Support order is less than a year old. The next job he took he was also fired for not showing up.
