Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am divorced in the state of Illinois and my child support was set at the states norm of 20% of my income. I lost my job in July of 09 and from July 09 on I did not receive unemployment or income of any kind... How do I find the amount I owe in backpayment of child support and what number is it based on considering I was bringing in zero earnings for the latter part of the year. My income from January to July was based on a commision salary so my support varied from week to week with the 20% being taken out. I am very confused on what I owe my ex and how I go about paying backsupport without having an income or a set amout?

You owe support for any month that the current order was in effect, even if you did not have a job.
