1. Do you think a request to lower child support based on retirement would work? In my particular case, I might go from a salaried position earning $100K to living off dividends and 72T payments totaling $30K. (I could easily see the court using the imputed income clause as an argument against this.)

Hmm, I'm thinking that making the choice to retire and live off of 30K is thinking like a single guy with no one to support but yourself. Having 3 kids and child support of $1400 a month implies that maybe 30K is not enough for you to live on. If you have a house payment or a car payment are you also going to be asking for a reduction of those costs?
On the other hand, I can see where a compromise here may make more sense. Can you find a balance between less work/less stress/less income and more time with your kids in exchange for an adjustment in child support? Since the child support formula takes into account your percentage of custody, that would have an effect.
