You shouldn't have a problem dropping from full-time to part-time but getting the hours/days that suit will depend a great deal on how your office is resourced and what attendance patterns are in place.
You will only qualify for "buy down" on seniority and if there is surplus in your D.O.

Sorry length of service has no bearing on Family Friendly issues however there are some exisiting threads that may help.
