Net income determination for child support

I am a low income NCP that falls within the guidelines of the new CAM law (I'm supposed to retain $550/month. Last summer I was laid off. I took a chance on myself, and borrowed money to start a lawn service. My 2005 tax return reflects a net loss. What happens to a support order in a situation where neither parent has net income? (We both are supported by our current spouses.)
