My ex has been a professional student for last seven years since our divorce in 2008. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in
last July 2014. The employment evaluation done in February 2014 said she could immediately earned $40,000 a year (10 months) as a math teacher and provided names of schools that were hiring, and also suggested she could tutor math in the summer for additional $2-3,000 income.
She has been steadfastly refusing to work while living with her BF for three years now. She maintains that she is a full time Masters degree student in Math and Art and won't be able to work till 2017. The judge last week imputed MINIMUM WAGE for her. As a result, I will have to pay her CS of more than $600 and the judge also imposed part of her attorney's fee to me.
My question: Did the judge abuse his discretionary power by imputing min wage while we have an employment expert
saying otherwise as of last year? Minimum wage for a person with a higher education degree seems to go against
market and societal norms and is, a slap on the face for the value of education.
Is this ground for appeal?
Appreciate any input.
