Child Support for High Earning Obligors

In most cases, child support is easily calculated according to an equation contained in statutory guidelines. However, if either spouse has a high net worth or is the owner of a business, then the calculation becomes much more complex.

How should the court factor in bonus and incentive pay? How should income fluctuations resulting from a natural business cycle be calculated? Which business assets are relevant to a parent’s ability to pay child support?

Alimony / Spousal Support Payments

Unless both spouses earn the same amount of money, it is usually inevitable that the higher-earning spouse will make alimony payments to the other spouse at least temporarily.

The amount and duration of these payments will depend on a number of factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s ability to support his or herself, the standard of living achieved during the marriage and many more.
