COLLEEN MURPHY v. JAMES MCDERMOTT

COLLEEN MURPHY v. JAMES MCDERMOTT
No. 2047 MDA 2007 2009 PA Super 151 Atlantic: 979 A.2d 373 Filed: 7/31/2009

Appeal from the Order entered on October 24, 2007,
in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, Domestic
Relations, No. 1703 of 2002, PASCES No. 604104872
Before: LALLY-GREEN, FREEDBERG, and FITZGERALD,* JJ.
Opinion by: LALLY-GREEN, J.
Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by: FITZGERALD, J.
Appellant, James McDermott (“Father”), appeals from the order entered in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, dismissing his exceptions to a support order for the parties’ minor child, A.M. (“Child”), born on July 30, 2002. We hold that the court erred in calculating: (1) Father’s 2008 income by including one-time stock options exercised in 2007; (2) Father’s 2006 and 2007 income by failing to calculate perquisite income from personal use of a company-provided vehicle appropriately; and (3) Father’s income by not accounting for the withdrawal penalty when it included his employer’s gross contributions to his 26 U.S.C. § 401(k) and stock accounts. Accordingly, we vacate the order and remand for further proceedings.
