    This.  I fail to understand the question though.  Why does it make a difference?  You'll still receive the amount per the court order, regardless of it's net or gross from him paycheck.

    Is your question how CS affects his year to date income which could be used to calculate the support amount?

    I just had a question because my stupid EX is trying to tell the judge that he (the judge) is wrong because he based the calculations from his gross income and not his net income. An official child support order was put in on 12/2/2011 and from what I read is that he has 20 days to contest it?? Is that right? FWIW: he never showed up to our court date when the order was put in. And, he is out of town and has not seen the court documents. When he returns it will be after the 20 days.

    I've never heard of having 20 days to contest something.  Child support is not an amount that's set in stone forever.  It can change, but there needs to be a reason.  Otherwise, I think reviews are only done something like every two or three years.  Your Ex can argue with the judge all he wants, but it'll probably only irritate the judge.  I wouldn't worry about it.

    In Texas, it's 20% of net for one, 25 for 2, 30 for 3 or more.  If they fail to show (like DD's father did), they forfeit te right to contest the amount until the review 5 years later. Every state is different. But, you should be able to call your local AG and ask. 

    Unfortunately, if he gets a higher paying job, that amout doesn't change. On the flip side, if he gets a LOWER paying job, that amount doesn't change.
