Struggle with payments � Help with Decreasing Child Support

My child support was calculated about 7 years ago. Since then I received some pay raise, bought a house, a car, got married and now have 3 more children. Recently with the market drop I lost the difference that I was making and now struggle with paying the child support. Can this factor help me to decrease child support so my current family don�t struggle? My ex is remarried.
