You are entitled to child support in the amount that's in your order, not the amount that's in your ex's paycheck.

Child support is calculated when you go to court, not when your ex gets a bonus.

If his child support isn't set at the right amount, you have to go back to court and get a modification. The modification is based on how much he earned in the past 12 months - bonuses and all.
