Possibility of reducing maintenance for ex-wife due to job loss

Hello

Here is my situation. I'm a man, divorced with one child who lives with her mother.

I signed a contract with her that I offer my child AED 10.000 a month. The contract was signed in the court - department of personal matters of Dubai.

I paid for one year and a half. Since this time I got a health issue of my parents and lost my work.

My situation now, I'm without work and can't afford to pay this amount now and would like to know how I can make it low so I can be able to pay.

Thank you for your help.
