Volume 11: Monthly Net Disposable Income $100,000-$119,000 | Children Ages 1-5

Six-Figure Support: Upper-Income Guideline Applications

Jeremy J. Salvador’s eleventh volume enters the six-figure monthly income territory, addressing calculations for obligors with substantial earning capacity. This resource serves high-net-worth dissolution practitioners, certified financial analysts preparing support calculations, parents with significant income seeking fair treatment, and judicial officers ensuring proposed stipulations comply with statutory mandates while avoiding windfall support.

Volume 11 charts obligations for monthly net disposable income between $100,000 and $119,000, covering one to five children. The volume addresses the tension between California’s mandatory guideline formula and principles that child support should reflect actual child-rearing costs rather than wealth redistribution. Calculations incorporate proper treatment of investment income, capital gains distributions, rental property proceeds, and other passive income sources under § 4058. Particular attention addresses circumstances justifying deviations where guideline amounts exceed reasonable expenses.
