Yes, the only thing child support is not based on is SSI. Count yourself lucky if they base it on unemployment, usually they base it on employment potential, as in what you should be making if you were employed.

Yes. You husband is obligated to pay child support according to the order of the court and is in violation of that order if he fails to pay at any time.
