It seems kind of like a huge waste of time, does adjusting child support have to go to court? If you are making a third less than you were or you got laid off, what happens?

Thanks. Not worried about proving he is applying and interviewing, but he's been overpaying for too long, and just lost his job, we are in dire straits. He has only been unemployed for 1week (the holiday was not exactly peak interview time, go figure), and has out more than 20 applications already. Just feel like he should not be paying CS on a salary he has not made in three years!

No, you don't have to go to court depending on what state you life in. You do have to notify the CSE office or the DA (depending on your state) that you want a CS review. An Administative Court Judge will be assigned and will issue a ruling based on information submitted. At least that is how it worked for us following a telephone hearing.

Also, if it has been 2 years you don't need a change of circumstance to file for a CS review. Again, depending on your state.

We requested a CS review when I was laid off in an effort to try to get the income credit the worthless POS SpermClan was given due to my income (StepDad). That did not work. He still got the credit even though I had not worked in nearly a year. But, his CS did go up by nearly 700%. }:)
