Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

child support

my lawyer calculated my child support from my year to date in october. my year to date was about 50,000 which made my child support $770. since then my paychecks have been going down and now i make about 800 net every two weeks. i can't afford to keep paying her that much money. can i take her to court to recalculate the child support feburary 1st 2006? will they use my year to date then even though they are only going off of 4 weeks pay? and if not how long do i have to wait to have it recalculated?
