What is the name of your state? Florida
My finace has primary custody of his son. His ex has only every other weekend visitation..no holidays or extended vacation. The ex wife has a bachelor's degree (completed a few weeks after leaving) but is choosing to work part -time as a cashier at a grocery store. Before leaving she was a full-time college student (if she can do that why can't she work full-time?). Her child support payments are based on this part-time employment. Is this even legal? I thought that at minimum they would impute her income based on full-time at minimum wage unless there is a physical or mental reason why she can't work f/t. I can only assume that they are taking into account that she's had a baby with her boyfriend. Florida statutes clearly state that any children born after aren't supposed to be taken into consideration when determining the child support for previous child. She has shown no proof of even trying to find full-time employment with or without her degree. Will she ever be required to produce income up to the level of her education and capability...or even try?
