If your divorce decree doesn't have a visitation schedule in it, you'd file a motion for modification and ask the court to establish specific visitation times. In the same petition/motion you would ask for a reduction of your child support.
You file the motion, pay the filing fee, get a citation issued, get Mom served, and then set it for trial.
