of approximately $86,000. The $10,000 per month figure was based on my previous

earnings which were substantially greater than my current earnings. My primary

occupation is a film director and producer. As set forth in the lncome and Expense

Declaration fited herewith, my average monthly income is $32,376, The last film I

completed was in August 2008 and I have not directed any film projects since that date,

I do not anticipate any increase in monthly income for the foreseeable future.

4. I cannot afford to continue making the $10,000 monthly support payment

which was based upon my prior income when I was removed from the feature film

'American Gangsters." ln calendat year 2008, I made $836,500, which averaged to

$69,708 per month - more than double my current monthly income. My removalfrom the

fitm has had a continuing negative effect on my earnings potential. ln calendar year 2009,

I only earned $156,927 ($67,099 from salary and $89,828 from my corporation)

5. Although I did earn certain income through my corporation, the two

businesses in which I have an interest, Aktive Global Entertainment, lnc., and Fuqua Films,

lnc,, combined for a net income loss of $(1 1 ,704) for calendar year 2009. See lncome and

Expense Declaration fi led herewith.

6. ln addition, I have multiple Judgments entered against me which have

resulted in a levy on my bank accounts and residual income thus depriving me of any liquid

funds or residual income going forward.

7. Due to my dramatic decrease in income, I was forced to selt my residence.

My residence has received an offer and is scheduled to close on Septernber 2,2010. All

proceeds for the sale of the residence are being used to pay down my tax liabilities.

8. I respectfully request the Court modify my current support order of $10,000

per month to guideline support of $3,134 per month. This figure represents a 5% time

share utiiizing my current income of $17,384 per month in wages and salary and $14,992

per month in self-employment income. The Petitioner is unemployed and earnings of $0

were attributed to her. Attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and incorporated herein by this

reference is a DissoMaster printout which reflects the each party's current income and the
