| I would say, by all means, contact a lawyer and let him figure your
pay. They do have a formula for such. You probably won't have to go
to court. A lawyer should be able to take it to the court house and
have it set up properly without making a case out of it. Not unlike
a woman usually having her lawyer draw up a restraining order, which is
also signed by a judge, but not handled in the court room.

This not a flame, but a caveat ... to be careful ..
This sounds simpler than the NH lawyer who explained it differently.
When divorced people go back for an 'adjustment', the whole issue
becomes a target, just as if it being done for the first time.
(unless there's been some major chanegs in the past 13 years).
What you say is correct in substance, but in sevaral states it does
require an ammended stipulation. However, in the past two years the
cost of living has risen, and a "few" judges done't give tinkers dam
about whether or not the provider needs to live.
Only a good lawyere can asses the risks in a particular case. As
much as i dsitrust some lawyers and thier motives; only they are
equipped to handle the specific risk analyis of going back for an
downward adjustment.
