The respondent father brought a motion to change a 2018 consent order, seeking to reduce his child and spousal support obligations based on a claimed reduction in his self-employment income.
The court found that the respondent had reorganized his corporation shortly after the consent order and was splitting income with his new spouse and son.
The court imputed income to the respondent by adding back the non-arm's length salaries and dividends, setting his income at $195,488 rather than his claimed $144,121.
Support was adjusted accordingly, retroactive only to January 1, 2021, as a previous motion for 2020 had already been dismissed.
