You need the assistance of a lawyer knowledgable in this area. The short answer is "yes, it counts"; the California law on the subject is pretty clear. See Legal Note Vol. 46 — Military Allowances for Child-spousal Support, posted at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/newsletter/vol-46-military-allowances-for-child-spousal-support/. And there should be arrears in your order as well; why there is not is not clear from your question. Seek out a family law specialist.
