That may be true, I don't know enough about their situation to know what he is or isn't paying for nor why he might be doing it. Any expenses that he has for the child could be considered when determining CS (here at least) but paying her mortgage probably wouldn't be unless it is considered alimony THEN it could be considered income for her.
If it was a part of the property settlement then it definately isn't income to her.

DH pays CS under the current order but BM happens to still reside in his house, it has proven difficult to remove her without affecting the child. DH and BM were never married.

The way I understand it, he pays her mortgage and the child's private school out of the goodness of his heart.

Thanks everyone, venting was good. Court is June 14th, I just hope we have some conclusion whatever it is, CS hasn't killed anyone yet, has it?

I believe the courts collect a lot of information they don't actually use. Our judge didn't even look at our expense reports. Didn't care.
I think a lot of self-employed people hide income. They are used to doing it to avoid taxes so they are experts by the time they divorce.
Judges know that and look for it.
However, discovering hidden income and using all company paid expenses as income is silly and I think a good lawyer could get around that - assuming Leegirl's husband is actually an employee and not self-employed.
One year my company sent me on 4 business trips. Should the money they spent on the airfare, hotel and conferences have been counted as income? Ridiculous.

Okay, he pays the mortgage on his house that she lives in because he doesn't want to hurt his son. He should/could do something about that but chooses not to. I don't see where it could be considered income for her but it could be considered.
I would assume that he also wants his son to go to private school or he wouldn't be going, that's his choice to make. If he didn't pay it then the child would go to public school like most kids.

My question is, why is BM doing this? She is getting married and moving to NY (I think, I remember that).
Why the big up roar now?
Did the future marriage fall through?

Business trips are different. I do think that cars and rent should be considered as income, those are necessities that the company is paying for so that the payer doesn't have to. If they didn't pay for those things then he would be making more money, at least most people would insist on it because they wouldn't be able to live the same lifestyle without those things being provided.
