What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
My Ex has objected to the administrative review and adjustment hearing decision on the basis that I am under employed. During the hearing the adminstrator explained to my Ex that according to the child support law I am not under employed. That I have had the same job for over 3 years and did not willful leave my other job.
Here is my history of employment: Upon returning to my last job (in april 2008) after my maternity leave (I had FMLA due to complicated pregnancy), I was informed that they could on give me 1-2 days back instead of my 4-5 days that I use to carry. Working those 4-5 days a week generated an imcome of $35-40,000. So I dusted off my resume and started applying for nursing jobs. I acquired a job that is an on-call Infusion specialist. Your income is generated according to the number of calls u recieve. If a nursing home needs you they call you. It seemed that it offered a potential of making more money then staying at the current job and only making half of what I was. The first year was decent I made $25,000. Then the next two years due to the ecomomic crisis the calls slowed down. The second yr I made $20,000 and this last year was horrible I made only $13,000. I am remarried so my husbands job and mine together has been sufficent for us. I have looked for some other jobs off and on and applied but no responses.
My Ex came with a large list of nursing jobs telling me to get them and get a real full time job. I currently cover a 160 hrs of call time in a 2 week period. I like my job...alot. So the administrator told him he would average out the last 3 yrs and adjust child support according to that instead of just using my last years income. My ex thought it was unfair that I got a credit for having a 3 yr old that wasn't his and that he thought he shouldn't have to pay more child support so I could be home with my toddler more....and I should get a different job. Child support was reduced after the hearing by a small amount, but not enough for my Ex. Now we have to go in front of a judge because my EX still does not agree. What will happen now? Will the judge force me to get another job? What do I need to do now?
