Q: I'm paying for child care in my child support yet he doesn't go to daycare. What can I do to get the $239 per m removed

I don't wanna modify because she works under the table and will hide her income again so child support will go up even more. I need this money for medical bills and follow up appointments I can't go to because of such high child support payments.
