Heading: Income Calculations

Text: Gene next contends that the chancery court's income calculations for childsupport purposes are flawed for several reasons. First, he contends that the court included gambling winnings without crediting gambling loses, as previously discussed in this opinion. In addition, he maintains that the chancery court erred in adopting Bernice's accountant's figures instead of those by his accountant and that deductions for depreciation and other truck expenses were not fully allowed. All of this, he maintains, skewed the bottom line for disposable income and falsely depicted his income as increasing substantially when, in fact, gross income from his trucking business had been declining. He further claims that by not including gambling losses in its income calculations, the chancery court deviated from the Family Support Chart and needed to explain the deviation with written findings. He cites Stepp v. Gray, supra , for this proposition. We have previously held in this opinion that the chancery court must recompute Gene's disposable income based on gambling losses, and we need not consider that issue again under this point. Beyond that, Gene is simply not convincing in showing how the chancery court clearly erred in calculating his expendable income so as to require additional written findings under the Administrative Order.
