The payor parent brought two motions to change seeking a reduction in child support based on alleged decreases in income.
The court found significant disclosure failures, credibility issues, and inaccurate financial statements.
After examining corporate records and evidence concerning the payor’s closely held corporation, the court attributed full corporate income, shareholder loans, and personal expenses paid through the corporation as income under the Child Support Guidelines.
The court determined the payor’s income for support purposes was substantially higher than claimed and increased the monthly child support obligations retroactively and prospectively.
A request by the responding parent to vary holiday access was dismissed for lack of material change.
