Volume 17: Monthly Net Disposable Income $160,000-$179,000 | Children Ages 1-5

Elite Income: Upper-Tier Support Obligations

Jeremy J. Salvador’s seventeenth volume addresses calculations for parents whose earnings place them among California’s highest income residents. This resource serves attorneys representing professional athletes and entertainment industry executives, forensic accountants analyzing variable income patterns, parents seeking fair treatment despite exceptional earnings, and appellate courts establishing precedent regarding guideline formula application at extreme income levels.

Volume 17 covers monthly net disposable income ranging from $160,000 to $179,000 for one to five children. The volume provides critical analysis of whether guideline amounts at this income level serve statutory purposes or generate results divorced from reasonable child support principles. Calculations address proper treatment of income subject to significant annual variation, including performance bonuses, deferred compensation vesting, and business income fluctuations. Detailed discussion explores how courts should weigh evidence regarding children’s actual expenses versus theoretical guideline calculations.
