Pay stubs & wage records

Pay stubs, W-2s, 1099s, and employer statements — the income evidence child support runs on, and the first place a support case is won or lost on paper.

The five gates, for this item type

Neutral education — each gate runs separately, and passing one is never presented as admissibility. The Five Gates page carries the full statutory walk.

Relevance
The § 61.30 guideline computation starts from income — wage records are commonly the least contested and most load-bearing exhibits in a support case.
Authentication
Employer-issued documents, produced in disclosure, commonly enter with little fight; self-prepared income summaries do not.
Hearsay
Employer payroll records commonly travel the business-records lane; a party's own testimony about income is direct evidence with its own credibility questions.
Best evidence
The stub or form itself, complete — not a retyped table.
Privilege
Not in play.

The organizer checklist

Generic, neutral, and yours to select from — organization, never legal acts. The Evidence Organizer is where the log lives.

Keep the last three months of stubs current — 12.285's own window
Save year-end forms (W-2/1099/K-1) with the returns they match
Note overtime, bonuses, and irregular income by pay period
If self-employed, keep the business records that support the numbers
Track production in the Disclosure Tracker

Objections to expect — as education

Getting this class of evidence INTO the case has its own rulebook — the Procedure Matrix maps disclosure, discovery, and the subpoena to the family rules that govern them.

Where this page stops

Whether YOUR pay stubs & wage records clear these gates depends on facts and foundations this page cannot see and will not guess. Independent attorney review is the route for judgment.
