Top 5 common income sources in complex child support cases

All income is taken into account when calculating the monthly child support amount according to the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines. Some child support cases can be complex because the parties have different sources of income other than W-2 wages. Complex child support cases may require an expert’s analysis of the party’s net income.

The following streams of income are the 5 common sources of income in complex child support cases:

  1. Interest and dividends from investment accounts;
  2. Business income from business interests;
  3. Distributions from a trust;
  4. Capital gains from the sale of stock or real estate; and
  5. Rental income from investment properties.
