Volume 29: Monthly Net Disposable Income $280,000-$299,000 | Children Ages 1-5

Maximum Income: Testing Formula Absolute Limits

Jeremy J. Salvador’s twenty-ninth volume addresses support calculations at the practical maximum of monthly net disposable income covered by this comprehensive series. This resource benefits practitioners managing dissolution proceedings involving California’s wealthiest individuals, parents seeking equitable treatment despite exceptional earnings, judicial officers navigating unprecedented support calculation scenarios, and appellate specialists potentially establishing binding precedent regarding guideline formula application limits.

Volume 29 covers monthly net disposable income ranging from $280,000 to $299,000 for one to five children. The volume provides critical analysis of whether guideline formula application at this income level produces results consistent with any rational child support policy or demonstrates need for legislative intervention establishing practical calculation ceilings. Calculations address proper treatment of extraordinary income requiring analysis beyond routine guideline application, including consideration of whether amounts should be averaged over multiple years or excluded from guideline calculations entirely.
