How he earns the money to pay his child support isn't your concern. If you feel you should request a review to have it raised, so be it, but YOU do not get to decide what his full earning potential is, where he earns it or how he earns it. (he's an idiot to be sharing that information with you, it's not your business). YOU do what YOU need to do to raise YOUR household income and HE does what HE needs to do to raise HIS household income. As long as he's meeting his current CS obligation, YOU have no business in his working choices.

This is all such horses@it.

She is NOT underemployed. She is working to her full capacity, 40 hours a week. Her CS will be based on her current income...as she is working in the same job she has always worked and took an income reduction through no fault of her own.

Her ex is NOT working to his full capacity. Therefore, he should be imputed at what he is capable of making if he were working 40 hours a week.

I can't believe that anyone is arguing this with her.

When other people suffer an income reduction, through no fault of their own, they are advised to try and get CS modified to reflect their new income.

When other people are working less than 40 hours a week, they are advised that their CS will be imputed to 40 hours a week.

This poster is no different.

CS should be recalculated based on their CURRENT income and if EITHER of them are underemployed, their income should be imputed to what they are capable of making in a 40/hr per week job.

The Gov cannot give anything to anyone - that they have not first taken away from someone else.

Exactly. Add to that the length of time between the original order and today, she is within her right to request it.

Some states have standard clauses in court orders that give both parents the right to know where the other works, what they make, etc. Unfortunately, sometimes you DO need to go after those things if the OP is being dishonest about their income, which makes a difference in how the CS is calculated.
