Volume 15: Monthly Net Disposable Income $140,000-$159,000 | Children Ages 1-5

Premium Earnings: Approaching Guideline Formula Limits

Jeremy J. Salvador’s fifteenth volume addresses income levels where guideline formula application generates increasingly controversial results. This resource serves specialists handling ultra-high-net-worth dissolution, parents questioning whether calculated obligations reflect reasonable child support, mediators navigating parties’ resistance to guideline amounts, and judges weighing deviation requests premised on excessive support arguments.

Volume 15 charts obligations for monthly net disposable income between $140,000 and $159,000, covering one to five children. The volume provides comprehensive analysis of case law addressing guideline application at higher income levels, examining whether appellate decisions recognize implicit reasonableness limitations on support obligations. Calculations address how courts should evaluate competing evidence regarding actual child-rearing costs versus guideline formula results, including consideration of children’s accustomed standard of living, educational expenses at exclusive institutions.
