Working Money to buy everything for herself. Ex said since our daughter has a job she doesn’t need to use the childsupport money for her. can I go back to court and modify childsupport since my daughter is working and buying her own things?
You likely are not going to get a decrease based on these facts. Your daughter is not paying rent or utilities - things child support covers. If she has a job to buy extras, like clothes she wants and going to the movies, that doesn't mean you get a reduction in child support.
No. In fact, you will be in contempt of court, if he has custody and you keep her at your house without permission. She is old enough to pick who she wants to live with so you need to consult with an attorney about filing a modification.

I'm not just trying to get out of child support, but I know that I'll be the one to pay child support for my 16 year old's kid (not legally, but to keep him out of jail). 16yo's other parent is completely apathetic to the whole situation and only cares that I NOT stop paying child support.

Father's job changed a month after judge signed child support when can mother go back for more and what constitutes as a substantial change in income ie $2.00/hr $5.00/hr more
There is no minimum time to go back; however $5.00 per hour is not going to result in a large increase so it may not be worth it. Once a modification is filed and an order entered, then there is a 2 year window before going back, so it's best to wait until a substantial increase can be proven.

Uncontested means you and he already have agreed to everything. So, presumably you wouldn't be agreeing to give him items you feel are yours. If you don't agree on everything, then a contested case can be filed, and the judge will decide who gets what if you can't agree on your own.
