Corporate earnings are corporate earnings. What he pays himself is his income. However, whether or not any of the corporate earning get imputed to him depend on:
1. the legitimacy of write-offs;
2. the amount of retained earnings left in the corporate accounts; and
3. what the industry standard is for 1 and 2.
Some companies need to leave larger amount in the accounts for the next year due to the nature of business. Others do not. It comes down to what the industry standard is. No one here can likely tell you whether or not you will be successful because I don't believe most here are experts in a) reading judges minds, b) the determining what the industry standard would be and c) figuring out likelihoods based off of limited info provided.
You best bets are to file a motion to adjust c/s, request disclosure and go from there. Your chances of getting increased c/s are pretty much guaranteed. How much the increase is will depend on a lot of different factors. But any increase is likely going to fairly significant and help you in the long run.
