Questione giuridica chiave
How the relevant net income under the child-support-advance regulations must be determined after a new earning situation arises during the year.
Decisione estratta
The relevant net income had to be recalculated on the basis of the new economic situation from 1989-07-01, and the complainant's income had to be annualized for the second half of 1989; this led to exceeding the income limit.
Motivazione estratta
The regulations do not define net income. The court reaffirmed that, absent a tax assessment reflecting the new situation, the income must be determined in the advance-proceedings themselves according to current circumstances. For the period from 1989-07-01, the new income situation had to be assessed like an interim tax assessment, with the complainant's new earnings projected to a yearly basis so as to reflect actual economic capacity.
