Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

How may I change the amount of child support I pay?

My divorce was finalized in April 2005. For the past 2yrs I was making over $20/hr & working over 60hrs/wk. The judge based my final child support order on this wage & these hours. He also added a 3% increase because he said I was not taking advantage of my visitation. For on the job safety, to be able to spend time w/ my children & other personal reasons I have decided to start my own business. However, due to start-up costs & the type of business my present income averages to only $10/hr. Is it possible for me to change my child support on what I am now making instead of what I was making?
