    If this is is court ordered maintenance, prepare proof of earnings and your expenditure for court. Go to your district court office and ask them to arrange a court date to have the maintenance you pay revised due to a change in your earnings. If the judge finds you cannot afford to pay any more than what you have been, then he / she will revise your order.

    If it is just a casual arrangement you have, reduce the payment yourself. If she is unhappy with this, she can go to the district court office herself and look for a court date, which you will have a chance to show the judge that you cannot afford any more, and they will look into both sides earnings and expenditure and order what is fair.
