Atty said he does with bonus income included and it is included when figuring child support.
So Dan says then why would I be offering you 25% of my bonus for the next 8 years if you are already taking support based on that? It would be double-dipping...
Mind you it was 100% HIS idea to give me part of his bonus checks, my atty said that NEVER happens so to take it and run. That means I can't enforce it if he doesn't want to do it... bummer. Looks like the bonus $$ will be included when calculating child support but now I won't be getting a percentage, too...
BBJ Child support in Tennessee used to be a base percentage of gross annual income minus Social Security..
basically..if a man carried the child on his insurance then he paid 21% of his yearly income (minus SS) for child support...if you did not carry them then you paid 31% of your yearly income..Tennesse has now went to a more balanced approach where both parents incomes are figured in to reach a child support number for the non custodial parent..
I can see why Dan has took backwater after seeing the numbers...it does sound like double dipping...I am of the opinion that the support should be fair...
as for the 401k money..I'd tell him to sell the cows..

Deal is right now Dan has no attorney. If I push on more of this stuff he may get one and then it will take even longer and cost a lot more...grr...
you are correct on that part...It blows my mind that Dan is actually doing this using your attorney...he has no represenation..you would think a "top dog" would be smarter than that.
