Question:

After my oldest child emancipated, my ex-wife requested a child support review that resulted in my support payments doubling.

The review calculated income based in part on my bonuses received over the past few years even though the bonuses vary widely and my base pay has remained consistent.

Is this fair that my child support should increase when I have less children to support after one was emancipated and my bonuses where used to determine income?

Question:

My ex-wife's attorney is requesting salary information from my new job because of my increased income.

He said because I have an alimony and child support obligation that he is entitled to know my earnings.

Do I have to provide my ex-wife's divorce lawyer with my pay stubs and financial records?

Question:

My ex-wife is filing for a child support modification because of a re-enlistment bonus I received through the military.

I receive half of the bonus up front and the other half paid on the anniversary of my re-enlistment.

The military bonus is paid once a year for the amount of years re-enlisted for so once my obligation is up the bonus ends.

Should my bonus be factored into the child support obligation?

Question:

I am a member of the military paying child support to my wife during our separation based on my state's child support calculator that includes both my base pay and housing allowance (BAH).

My wife feels the gross monthly income amount entered into the calculator should be adjusted in consideration of the fact that my BAH is income that will not be taxed, as opposed to all of her employment income being taxed.

Is this fair? Will the court typically adjust income for this reason?

Question:

Say I set up an irrevocable trust in my child's name only, and buy real estate property, stocks, and bonds using income from my business to transfer into this trust.

During a divorce, would my spouse be able to claim 50% interest in this irrevocable trust?

What if I set up an irrevocable trust in my parents' names only, and also bought investment assets for this trust using business income? Would the spouse be able to claim interest in this irrevocable trust?
