Yes, if your husband is paying child support pursuant to a judgment rendered previously, the court will deduct the amount of child support he pays from his gross monthly income thereby reducing such. The court calculates child support based on the gross monthly income earned by the parties. Your husband must produce a copy of the judgment in order for the court to recognize and give him credit.
