“When a corporate proprietorship is involved in a child-support case, the court has the duty to carefully examine the evidence of corporate expenses and deductions as related to possible personal income. A review of all circumstances must be conducted `to determine if the individual proprietor has taken or concealed anything of value from his corporation which should be added to his personal income. The possibility of withdrawal of personal benefits from a closely held corporation for living expenses or other personal use requires sharp scrutiny of all available records to prevent avoidance of child support.”
