Heading: Evidence of Terry’s income

Text: Terri Lin argues that the superior court erred by using an estimate of Terry’s future income to set his future child support obligations, rather than requiring Terry to provide an earning statement. Terry did not move to North Carolina and start receiving his new salary until June, so at the time of the May trial no such statement existed. Moreover, Terri Lin did not produce any evidence at trial suggesting that Terry’s estimate of his future pay rate was inaccurate. In light of the timing of the trial 37 AS 25.24.170. 38 Scully v. Scully, 987 P.2d 743, 747 (Alaska 1999). -15­ 7052 and the parties’ respective moves out of Alaska, crediting Terry’s estimate was an evidentiary decision within the superior court’s discretion. If Terry’s salary materially differs from the estimated amount, Terri Lin can seek to modify the child support order.39
