Here are my thoughts on Ioan’s income and expense declaration.
- Because of the SAG strike, there was a significant change in Ioan's financial situation.
- Ioan’s corporation enters into acting contracts on his behalf. So, Ioan is claiming average monthly earnings of $18,264; however in December 2023, he did not have income, but instead a loss of -$34,395. This is despite Alice claiming that Ioan earns $25,000 - $40,000 per month in monthly income (see page 1 of Alice’s income and expense declaration).
- Ioan declares that his fiancée Bianca lives with him and pays for $1,900 of household expenses per month.
Ioan’s actual expenses are as follows:
* $3,502 monthly rent (average over last 12 months, so I’m guessing the amount he was able to pay fluctuated)
* $24 monthly renter’s insurance (looks pretty standard)
* $600 in health care costs not paid by insurance; this figure includes the cost of psychotherapy for Ioan
* $1,250 in groceries per month (much more reasonable than Alice’s $2,500 figure)
* $340 for eating out per month (this seems reasonable)
* $180 per month for utilities (compare to Alice’s mammoth monthly ask of $3,000 for her utilities)
* $185 monthly for cell phone costs (seems reasonable)
* $100 per month for clothes (reasonable)
* $400 per month for entertainment, gifts, and vacation (so much for “swanning around the globe”)
* $480 for auto expenses (seems reasonable for gasoline and car insurance—I paid $5.49 a gallon for gas yesterday…yay California)
* $160 per month in personal grooming and $100 per month in pet care expenses (seems reasonable)
* All this totals $7,321 per month, less than half of what Alice is claiming to need.
- Ioan declares debts of two small credit card bills with balances of less than $200 combined.
- Ioan estimates that the children have spent 93% of their time with Alice and 7% of their time with him. He claims that due to Alice’s parental alienation, he has only spent 27 days with the children in the past year, but he hopes that this will increase due to the ongoing reunification therapy.
- Ioan pays $166 per month for Elsie and Ella’s health insurance.
- Ioan also pays $4,200 a month for Elsie and Ella’s therapy. Alice did not claim any therapy expenses on her income and expense declaration, which is a red flag since they are supposed to be splitting the therapy expenses.
- Again, Ioan had forensic accountants prepare a report of Ioan’s income which is available for support, using data from the past 36 months for the period ending December 31, 2023. In total, for the 36 months which ended December 31, 2023, Ioan’s gross monthly income available for support is $21,023 (averaged figure from $40,547 gross monthly income in 2021, $4,529 in 2022, and $18,264 in 2023).
- The accountants prepared spreadsheets showing the breakdown of Ioan’s income from wages, residuals, and dividend/interest income. Interestingly, Ioan paid all of Alice’s union dues in 2021.
- Attachment 11 shows a breakdown of existing assets, which is interesting to peruse.
- Attachment 15 shows the attorney fees paid by Ioan. (For Ioan’s legal fees: $68,208 to collaborative attorney Forrest Mosten; $28,131 to Dena Kleeman; $285,370 to the Elkins Kalt firm; and $18,512 to the Langlois Family Law firm. For Alice’s legal fees, Ioan paid an unknown amount to Alice’s collaborative attorney Jill Cohen; $15,000 to Leon Bennett; $90,000 to Marie La Molinara; $35,000 to Bernal Ojeda; and an unknown amount to 2 other of Alice’s attorneys.)
- The GAL, Elise Greenberg, has been paid $8,000 by Ioan, and he has paid Dr. Suzanne Dupee $15,000.
- Ioan pays $4,200 per month for individual and reunification therapy for the children.
