Ok, right now I am receiving $254 in child support a month for my two children. We recently had a modification hearing at the attorney general's office (he attended only by phone) and his salary had gone way up (71K) so my child support was supposed to go up to like $850. He was supposed to sign the papers but didn't because he found out he was going to get a pay cut. So now we are going to have to go before the judge to have the child support set.
I talked to him and he told me he has gotten his salary cut almost in half to what he was making, but that in 6 mos. or so that it will be back up to the 71K or maybe even higher than that.
I know we will be going to court soon and so my question is this: When we go to court, will the judge set my support based on what he is making now (41K), or what he was making a month ago (71K)? Based on the 41K, I should get about 4-500 a month, the 71K will get 850 a month. And if it is set based on the 41K, can it get raised up later?
