Child Support Lowered Due To Second Child

I am a sgt in the usmc and i have a 7 year old son with my ex wife and now have a 2 month old son with my fiance. i pay my ex 725.00 a month for just my one son, i have never complained about paying that much because i always wanted to provide as much as possible for him but now that i have a second child that lives with me there has been more expenses. i am still paying the 725.00 to my ex but i could really use a little of that to help with my bills and new expenses. i am not asking if it can be lowered a crazy amount but i just want to know what my chances are of having it lowered at least just a little bit, so i can provide for both of my children equally.

My next question is this......my son has came to me saying how his mother is talking bad about me as a father and telling him that i care about my new son more than i do him (which is by far not true i love both of them equally) and she is constantly doing this it wasn't just a one time thing, she holds valuable information from me like his social security number when i needed it for an appointment of mine, is there anything i can do about this?
