Plainfield, IL asked in Divorce for Illinois

Q: Child support question: If I made $58,000 last year because of overtime and this year is only base pay what do I pay

My net pay is $1,200 every 2 weeks and my job doesn't have overtime open and available like they did last year so my pay is considerably less the what my W2 was for last year. So do I pay off of my last years W2 or my net pay what I'm getting now.
