Heading: Future Child Support.

Text: The district court's award of child support in the amount of $1465 per month is based on David's average yearly income from 1998-2000, which includes his non-W-2 income consisting of interest and dividend income, capital gains distributions, and other income. We have already concluded that David's non-W-2 income cannot be considered in determining David's child support obligation. The proper amount of child support must be based, according to the decree, on David's W-2 income and on Jennifer's W-2 income. We remand for recalculation of David's child support obligation consistent with this determination. In deciding how to handle the alimony award in calculating the child support obligation, the parties and the district court should consider our discussion on this issue in In re Marriage of Lalone, 469 N.W.2d 695, 696-97 (Iowa 1991).
