FATHER’S NONVOLUNTARY UNION DUES SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEDUCTED FROM HIS INCOME FOR CALCULATION OF CHILD SUPPORT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Family Court, determined father’s nonvoluntary union dues should have been deducted from his income for the calculation of child support:

Although no deduction from income for union dues is specifically mandated by the Family Court Act, there is an allowable deduction for “unreimbursed employee business expenses except to the extent said expenses reduce personal expenditures” (Family Ct Act § 413[1][b][5][vii][A]). Nonvoluntary union dues may be deducted under this category … . “However, such expenses are properly deducted from parental income in calculating child support obligations only when proven, usually by tax returns accompanied by records and receipts” … .

At the hearing, counsel for the mother consented to the deduction of the father’s nonvoluntary union dues from the father’s income for the purposes of calculating his child support and related financial obligations. Thus, the Family Court should have granted the father’s objection to so much of the Support Magistrate’s order as failed to deduct the father’s nonvoluntary union dues from his income in calculating his child support and related financial obligations. Matter of Julien v Ware, 2020 NY Slip Op 00414, Second Dept 1-22-20
