handle is hein.ali/alifm0029 and id is 1 raw text is: PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF FAMILY DISSOLUTION CHAPTER 3. CHILD SUPPORT TOPIC 2. ESTABLISHING THE AMOUNT OF A CHILD-SUPPORT AWARD § 3.14 Defining a Parent's Income for the Purpose of Establishing a Child-Support Award: General Provisions Neb.2015. Subsec. (4)(b) quot. in sup., cit. in ftns.; coms. (a) and (d) cit. in ftns. Father brought an action to modify his child-support obligation, alleging that his income had substantially decreased. The trial court dismissed the complaint; the court of appeals affirmed. This court affirmed, holding that plaintiff's non-income producing assets were relevant to justify deviating from Nebraska's child-support guidelines. Citing Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution § 3.14, the court determined that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that plaintiff could afford the payments, even if it meant he had to liquidate assets to support his child, given that plaintiff had substantial real-estate holdings and an undisclosed amount of other funds to pay the mortgage for his real estate. Stekr v. Beecham, 291 Neb. 883, 888-890, 869 N.W.2d 347, 351-353. CHAPTER 4. DIVISION OF PROPERTY UPON DISSOLUTION TOPIC 2. DEFINITION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROPERTY § 4.08 Deferred or Contingent Earnings and Wage Substitutes Mass.App.2015. Cit. in sup. Husband filed a complaint for divorce from wife who wrote and published a best-selling novel while they were married. The trial court ordered wife to make a lump-sum payment to husband for his share of the royalty and book-related earnings that she had received to date. This court vacated in part, holding that wife's interest in future payments should have been included in the marital-estate and subject to equitable division. Citing Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution § 4.08, the court pointed out that, in some circumstances, an interest in future book royalties could be included in a divisible marital estate, and, here, the uncertainty of the value of future income did not require its exclusion, because wife's rights to the payments were contractually established at the time of the divorce. Canisius v. Morgenstern, 87 Mass.App.Ct. 759, 768, 35 N.E.3d 385, 393.
