What is the name of your state? Oregon
My Husband has two children from a previous marriage. At the time of the divorce his income was calculated w/bonus, at around 140k. He never did make that much again. His childsupport was based on this income. We have since moved out of the state of CA and his daughter resides with us. The custody/support papers are from CA, where the ex wife still resides. My husband is now in a position where his income is about 57k. Because he voluntarily moved and quit his job there, can he still be held accountable for the amount of support originally ordered in the documents??? There actually was no lawyers involved, they sat down and did the papers up themselves with a bit of help from a legal assistant. The papers of course still state he is to pay 1700-00 per month child support on two children undefinedand 500-00 for alimony. It was agreed with his ex wife that while his daughter resided with us he would only pay 850-00 per month child support for his son, who still resides with the ex. (I told him this should be changed legally because technically if she gets a wild burr, she could go to court and charge him w/contempt) Anyway I guess my question is, since he left his old job on his own for a lower paying job, is he still liable for the previous amount??? The reason he left his job is to relocate, he is definately not trying to avoid taking care of his children, just in reality, with that amount of support she has twice the amount he has in income.
Another question, the ex wifes adult daughter and her husband are living with her, my understanding is they pay no expenses. Does this qualify as co-habitating as far as alimony goes?
