The court decides based on his income unfortunately

If you take it to court he has to pay or after a while he can get jail time or suspended license for not paying if u guys agree on an amount n if he stop paying nothing u can do because its not court ordered and b hard to prove he paid this amount monthly until blah blah blah u know
