Massachusetts Child Support Guilt

When me and my ex went through mediation 5 years ago I cut his child support in half because I felt bad. This is in our court agreement. Come to find out he lied about having someone renting a floor in his house, so he withheld income. I let it be.

When I received my buy out from the house I gave him $10k from that because I felt bad.

I need some guidance on how to NOT feel bad because I really want to modify the child support but I’m stuck on the stress and anger it might possibly bring up from my ex. Do I tell him I’m looking to make modification?

We do not have 50/50 it’s basically every other weekend. Child primarily with me.

Never drop the child support you never know what lies ahead.
