DEL SOLE, J.,
dissenting:
¶ 1 I dissent and would affirm on the basis of the trial court’s analysis. The trial judge in her opinion, concluded that “the defendant did not offer any evidence or exhibits to provide the court with information from the Subchapter S return or the Schedule K 1.” Therefore, the court attributed the retained earnings to the defendant as income for support purposes.
¶ 2 While I agree with the Majority that in appropriate cases, retained earnings may not be considered income for support, it is the burden of the party seeking exclusion to convince the court. Since the court was not persuaded, I would affirm.
