Income for child support

The court may choose to use a parent’s:

• gross income
• income the parent has the "ability to earn"
• income available for support - income reduced by earlier support obligations for serial-family parents (parents who support more than one family)
• imputed income from assets that might include property, including but not limited to, life insurance, cash and deposit accounts, stocks and bonds, business interests, and cash and corporate income in a corporation.
  For more information, go to Administrative Rule DCF 150, Appendix B.
