The change of perspective and who the "I" is in the situation doesn't make sense.

Who is paying child support to who? Who is the child living with? At one point you say you have "almost no authority or even correspondence with child" but then you go on to say "the marital property that I and child reside in"

Generally the court will take into account the earnings of both parents. To many details are needed to know what a specific court/judge would do... Your best bet is to seek local legal counsel.
Go read it again. Part of it has been quoted from what her ex put in his petition. That is what is causing you the confusion. It confused me for a minute too.

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NY. Final divorce decree signed Jan 2017. How can ex seek to lower the support payments in family court? What are the likelihood that it will go through? In petition it states: My expenses have gone up, I have financial hardship, I have almost no authority or even correspondence with child, and ex is now employed.
I was a stay at home mom for about 15yrs, got a job and lost it during divorce process. I have a new job. I had asked to sell the marital property that I and child reside in, realtor failed to sell so I tried to have it resisted with a new realtor, ex refused and house is now off the market.
What are the likelihood of support being lowered? TIA
On the basis if his expenses going up, there is not much likelihood. There is a formula and it does not include the obligors expenses.

On the basis of your additional income, it all depends on the actual numbers.
