¶1concurring in part; dissenting in part.
¶2I concur in the majority opinion except for the part about the trial court’s finding of fact as to defendant’s gross monthly wages from employment being supported by evidence. While the evidence does show that $3,000 is the amount the family business pays defendant each month as wages the evidence, including that which he presented, also indicates without contradiction that his real compensation from the business is substantially more than that. The evidence shows without dispute that: The company enables him to be a member of a country club that has few, if any, members who earn only $3,000 a month; it has loaned him $48,576.16 in exchange for two interest bearing notes upon which no payment of either principal or interest has been made, though the first loan was in 1971 and the other in 1987. The stated purpose of the first loan (of $15,000) was to enable defendant to buy stock in the company; the second loan was to enable defendant to pay his share of the loss that was incurred in buying an airplane with three other people. When defendant’s living expenses are taken into account, buying stock for $15,000, losing $33,576.16 in the joint purchase of an airplane, and belonging to a country club cannot be reconciled with the finding that his monthly compensation from the company is only $3,000. That finding should be vacated also and one made as to his real monthly income from the company.
