Can someone please verify the child support calculation for me please?
I pay spousal support until June 2014, and is a fixed amount each year as determined by our separation agreement. My income varies substantially from year to year and for that reason we recalcualte child support each year. What I can't understand is the rationale that child support is calculated based on my gross income (pre-spousal support) and her income includes the spousal support received in calculating child support.
So I end up paying child support based on money I have given her for spousal support. Does it not make sense that my spousal payment should be BOTH deducted from my income AND added to her income when calculating child support???
Thank you
