Hi
My husband has a current CS order in NYC (Brooklyn) for CS based on his salary at the time of 27k (he pays 600/mo)
we recently separated - and we agreed to deviate from the guidelines and he was ordered to pay me (in New Jersey) 750/mo.  He has since (last 2 months) gotten a better paying job making almost double and has started paying ME double (375/week vs bi weekly) - but we have not gone back to court (my order is only 2 months old)
 
Now his ex is wanting a modification - and I'm afraid that the amount he's been paying me may be decreased -
 
- will the fact that he's been paying me 375/week vs what the ordered amount was make any difference ?
 
- should I take him back to court in NJ to have it ordered that he pay me this amount ? even though it's only been 2 months ?
 
- will the NY courts basically tell him tough, pay ME according to our existing order ?  (his payments are through probation so there is proof of his payments)

Number your questions, next time you post.

No. The additional amount isn't ordered, and therefore will be regarded as a gift to you.

If you want him forced to pay more, then you need to have the additional amount ordered. Otherwise, it is not legally valid or enforceable.

Unless you file for a modification, Yes.
