I understand the OP and why the responses are confusing.
Year Income
2019 50K
2020 100K
2021 75K
What child support should I have paid in 2021?
a) 6 months of 50K base + 6 months of 100K base?
b) 12 months of 100K base?
c) Otherwise?
In 2022 when your taxes are revealed showing 50K income an adjustment would be done so you ask for the money overpaid for 2021.
The actual change or request for a change of CS can happen anytime of the year, if it didn't then there would be this year end rush and so can the adjustment. There isn't a Change CS day.
Spreading that return money out over many months is normal. It was explained to me as allowing your ex to not be worried about the amount of income they have.
There are more factors like your ex saying his income should always be 100K they are under earning or that extra 25K of your income was a one time windfall.
There are some other things that come into play like your ex bringing you into court because you have a new job and are earning a lot more and they need that extra CS now. You might say I lost my job but normally there is an expectation that you could be employed newly next week so no adjustment is prudent, maybe you lost all 4 limbs and that expectation is gone.
Court system is so slow right now those things will never make it to court on time. If it is done by Separation Agreement you can always ask but don't expect your ex to have to deal with your life's ups and downs.
