Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have paid child support for $7000 a month for two years. My employment condition changed and I am planning to join a startup. As a result, my salary will be reduced to half and I will receive options. I think I can ask for a reduction on child support based on my new salary, but do I need to give away options as part of the child support?
