Should the 20% be calculated on reduced income after the 28% is deducted from the income?

More details to this question:
I have 2 child support cases. One judicial - 1 child 20% and one admin - 2 children 28%. Both are being calculated on total income instead of the 20% being calculated on reduced income after the 28% has been deducted. Is this correct? What is correct and what can be done about it?

The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. It was your obligation to advise the judge or hearing officer of the support order for the oldest child(ren). You are entitled to have that amount deducted from your income when the other support order is calculated, but you had to raise it. If you failed to appear or raise it, you should do so immediately.
