Hello All,
I am currently undergoing a
child support review, and the matter has been continued a number of times. I was hoping to obtain some input on how the poverty lines are utilized in the case of imputed income.
The situation is as follows:
My childs mother quit her job voluntarily(I subpoenaed the proof from her job), and six weeks after her termination, applied for an increase in child support. After the case was scheduled, she was reinstated to the same job, but began only working less than part time hours, where she had previously worked full time.
I filed a subpoena for her to supply her employment data report to the court, which she didn't comply with, and was ordered to produce her w-2's and
income tax paperwork by the judge for the next time we show to court. My problem is that even if I am successful in having the judge to impute her income, which very well may happen, it will still fall below the poverty threshold being that she has shown to make slightly less than $26,000 a year.
Do anyone have any information on how to counter the consideration for the poverty level, being that she is avoiding earning her full income potential. She is also on Section 8, and some other state assistance, in which I believe is another reason that she is attempting to restrict her income. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
