In a Decision Liranzo v. Gwyn, (an "Unreported Decision") >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division determined that the Trial Court improperly failed to include the ‘Other Dependent Deduction’ in the child support calculation.
Mother was to pay child support to father. Many Motions and calculations of Child support occurred. Excluded from the child support calculation was the ‘Other Dependent Deduction’. The Trial Court chose not to apply it because Mother earned $30,000 more than defendant so equity necessitated a deviation from the child support guidelines. On appeal, the Appellate Division reversed and remanded for recalculation of the support obligation. The remand for recalculation was necessary because the Trial Court did not make the necessary findings in accordance with Rule 5:6A. The court required the judge to make such concomitant statutory findings on remand.
