Quamme v. Quamme 2021 ND 208 Docket No.: 20210093 Filing Date: 12/1/2021 Case Type: DIVORCE/PROPERTY DIV./ALIMONY Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair Highlight: For purposes of determining child support, commissions do not necessarily constitute self-employment income under N.D. Admin. Code § 75-02-04.1-01(10). Debt regularly forgiven by an employer from a loan based on an obligor’s employment constitutes gross income under N.D. Admin. Code § 75-02-04.1-01(4)(b) and (5). For purposes of awarding spousal support, the district court does not need to provide a complete calculation of each parties’ assets, debts, and expenses, but a clear description of the parties’ financial situation is helpful in understanding the court’s rationale. When a court’s rationale is unclear, reversal and remand is appropriate. |
