![]() So when you hear the statement “spousal support is based on net income ,” it is more complicated than you think. This is based on voluntary deductions such as pension loan payments, voluntary 401k contributions, or voluntary contributions to a charity. Your take-home pay might be less than it seems. Therefore, y our net income in jurisdictions such as California, is not necessarily what your paycheck says you bring home each week. make it clear that this is the appropriate statutory approach, although it is understandable how it can be an easy question to confuse. However, that can be misleading because what that means in practice, is we begin with gross income, then apply a uniform, statutory list of allowable deductions. In California, it can be described that spousal support calculations are based on net income. So, I thought it might be a great topic to clarify for our clients and our readers. In trying to explain this concept to a client, I realized, it is complicated and can easily be misunderstood. We often are asked how child and/or spousal support is calculated whether gross income or net income used. ![]()
