    Default Alimony Calculation

    My question involves a marriage in the state of:CA
    Hi,
    If temporary spousal support is set too high, can it be reduced to half the amount when permenant spousal support is determined? For a self-employed person with a huge fluctuation in income how would the court determine permanent spousal support? Even after permanent spousal support is finalized and if the income drops for the self employed person significantly, what evidence would the court require and is it a straight forward process or would it require a court hearing?
    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Likely, by evaluating past year tax returns.

    Huge fluctuation over what term? Year to year? Month to month? Usually, over enough time, you get a pretty good idea of income.

    You've already indicated that your fluctuations are more in the manner of manipulations. You have also previously suggested that you get a salary. If you get a salary, your salary will be what it is; any bonuses you give yourself can be evaluated over the history of your self-employment. I wouldn't expect a court to be impressed by claims of fluctuating income, when you can loan yourself a half-year's salary on a whim.

    Unfortunately, I have not been self employed for a long time so there isn't enough past data to predict the future. I have been self-employed for only about a year and a half and worked on the same project for about a year and a half. That project ended and now, I am not sure when, where and how much I will make on my next project. It is true I was able to give my self advance salary because in my first project fortunately I made decent money.
