Petitioner and Mrs. Chiosie chose to reside in the same
residence, despite their marital difficulties, for financial
reasons and because they wanted to remain involved in the daily
lives of their three sons.
Petitioner is by profession a truck driver. During 1997,
petitioner owned a sole proprietorship, the business of which
involved the transport of small school buses from the
manufacturing plant in Pampa, Texas, to school districts
throughout the United States. Petitioner generally hired other
drivers to physically transport the school buses. Accordingly,
petitioner was able to conduct his business from the Monroe
residence, an arrangement that he favored because of his desire
to remain actively involved in the lives of his three sons.
However, from time to time petitioner was required to travel to
Texas for business reasons. During such trips, which generally
were of short duration, petitioner either stayed at a motel or
made more economical arrangements consistent with the transient
nature of his stay.
In 1997 petitioner earned a net profit from the operation of
his proprietorship in the amount of approximately $14,600.
In 1997 Mrs. Chiosie was employed as a restaurant hostess,
and she received wages in the amount of approximately $9,400.
Both petitioner and Mrs. Chiosie contributed financially to
the upkeep and maintenance of the Monroe residence.
