Does voluntary overtime count in the calculation for alimony in California ?

Answer:
In California, a court has broad discretion in granting or denying spousal support, as well as in fixing its amount and duration. Usually courts use a computer program to aid in determining support; a factor used in the calculation is income (of both spouses). The source of the income is generally irrelevant. But the court is not required to follow this calculation. In fact, each judge can have his own 'formula' in determining support. It is likely, however, that a judge will take into account all income regardless of how he or she determines support.

There are several factors a judge is required to consider in awarding spousal support. They can be found in the Family Code beginning at section 4320 (the Family Code can be found at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawq... ).
