You'll need to go back to court and do an agreed modification of the SAPCR terms. Assuming that both of you agree this is the best custody arrangement for your particularl family and that it looks like the kIds are doing okay with this arrangement (they get to see each other and both parents on a frequent basis, and don't seem to be having any problems that might be related to the custody arrangements), the court will probably approve the modification, though they may want to do it on a temporary basis and/or have an attorney appointed by the court look into things and recommend what's best for your kids. Unless the two of you literally have the same income, the court will probably still award some child support to the lower-earning parent to even that out somewhat. Good luck.
