Following a 20-year traditional marriage, the parties disputed the respondent's income for support purposes, as he operated a sole proprietorship and deducted personal expenses to lower his taxable income.
The court imputed income to the respondent, including an income tax gross-up on unreported income, fixing his income at $215,000.
The court ordered retroactive child and spousal support back to September 1, 2012, finding the respondent's failure to proactively determine his true income blameworthy.
Ongoing spousal support was ordered at the mid-range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines and secured by a life insurance policy.
