Question

My child support states he is to pay 20% of bonus money. If he is getting a special assignment allowance of 2500 semimonthly on top of his regular base pay does it qualify as bonus money? Legal definition of bonus is any sum of money above and beyond regular pay or wages.



Answer

Where does it define bonus as any sum above regular wages. If that is what your judgment says, that it what it means. Otherwise, it can be argues that special assignment allowances are not bonus. Traditionally, they might not be defined as such. But it is worth the fight.
