What is the name of your state? The courts are in Arizona
So if arizona child support guidlines say this....
If a parent is working below earning capasity the courts may look at the reasons.... (bla bla bla some more) Examples in which it would be innaporpriate to assign an income are as follows:
- A parent is engaged in reasonable career or occupational training to establish basic skills or reasonably calculated to enhance income capasity.
If my husband is 50% disabled and going to school should he have to have an income assigned?
Some info you might need to know:
He gets 850 a month in disability (and informend the courts of this)
He gets a living allowance of 720 a month from cahpter 31. (he informed them of this too.
The courts took these two ammounts and then assigned him an income of 18.50 an hour (his income at previous job) at 20 hours a week on top of the woth two ammounts.
- The courts said that there are plenty of parents that work part time and go to school full time.
- They told him that while he was not at work he had to leave the kids in the mothers care. Thus causing him to have to pay her more because of the time in parenting change.
The problem here is that the he had to quit his 18.50 an hour job for the following reasons...
- It was a night shift job and he was spending no time with the kids.
- The strain on his knee from lifting heavy boxes all day was too much.
Can the courts assign him an income if her is already pulling the other two incomes? How would we convince the courts to take it away?
Question #2: The courts assigned her an income but then gave her credit for day care when the children do not go to daycare. What is the point of doing this? Yeah great we managed to get her assigned an income but now we have to pay her for half of day care that she does not even use. Nor would she need to use it because even if she did work, she would be at work while the kids are in school and get off when they got out.
