The Attorney General typically uses income tax returns to calculate child support for a self-employed non-custodial father. Unlike parents with regular employment, self-employed individuals often lack standard pay stubs, making tax returns a critical tool for determining accurate income. The Attorney General’s office examines the reported gross and net income, business expenses, and deductions listed on the tax returns to establish “net resources,” which are used in calculating child support amounts. However, since self-employed individuals may underreport income or classify personal expenses as business expenses, the Attorney General may also review bank statements, profit and loss statements, and lifestyle evidence to ensure a fair assessment of income.
If the Attorney (954-440-0901 ) General suspects underreporting, they may adjust the reported income to reflect the actual financial situation, ensuring the child receives appropriate support. This process helps protect the child’s best interests while ensuring that the non-custodial parent contributes according to their true ability. For custodial parents, it is important to provide the Attorney General with any evidence that may indicate higher income, such as large purchases or visible assets. For self-employed non-custodial parents, maintaining transparent and accurate records is essential to avoid complications in the child support process.
