“In looking at a support award, the court will review both parents’ monthly incomes, and the amount of time that the child spends with each parent,” Richardson said. “All income, including money/wages, tips, commissions, bonuses, unemployment benefits, interest income, dividend income, rental income, insurance payouts – all of it is fair game for calculating child support.”

“For awards where the parties earn extremely high incomes, such as Tristian, the court will plug the numbers into the support calculator, but also consider several other factors. One argument for a larger award would be to ensure that the child has the same or similar lifestyle in both homes.”

As we previously reported, it was recently confirmed that Tristan is the father of Maralee‘s new born baby.

“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” he shared on social media. “I take full responsibility for my actions,” the celebrity father said. “Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
