Please do spellcheck before you post! It is very difficult to decipher your question due to bad spelling!

Each state has different guidelines and way of calculating CS. You cannot just throw a number out there as being "sufficient" so you will have extra money in savings in case of emergency etc. CS is based on many factors - the average being a certain percentage of the NCP net income - like 20%. You need to consult an attorney to find out what your state guidelines are......you can do this by making a simple phone call or 2, at no charge, to attorneys in your local phone book. If I read your message correctly, even if your ex is a "trucker", he can still make CS payments thru the regular post office while on the road......

No point to this post.

You can have it taken out automatically, or have him pay it through the court system. It's pretty standard to that now so if there is arrears, they know it. I don't know AL but I think what you are asking for is within reason and limits.
