Heading: Deductions from Mayla's gross income

Text: David contends that the District Court erred when it allowed as deductions from Mayla's gross income, $600 per year for union dues, $2,204 per year for retirement contributions, $248 per month for medical insurance premiums, and all Montana Worker's Compensation Employee Tax Liability payments. David argues that either there is no evidence which would support these deductions or, in the case of the Montana Worker's Compensation Tax Liability payments, there is evidence that directly contradicts the District Court's inclusion of that amount as a deduction from Mayla's gross income. We agree, based on our review of the record, that there was no proof of Mayla's obligation to pay these amounts. Therefore, when the District Court recalculates the child support amount on remand, we hold that these amounts are not to be included as deductions from Mayla's income.
