Child support

im in richmond va and the law states i have to pay 40% of my income to child support. that would be around 800 a month. im only paying 500 but that was raised from 265 a month which was what i was paying for 6 years. my ex then raised it while she was 7 months pregnant with no daugther of mine. is there anyway i can get that reduced. if she has to pay 60% to him but she files him on her taxes how is that fair to me? i cant afford to move out of my moms house and im 27!!!
