Okay. This was from another thread.

It seems that stressedby-X does to some extent believe that her ex is not working due to mental issues.
My point was that he is supporting himself, that she does not owe SS in my opinion, and his CS should be derived from how he is supporting himself (directly or indirectly through parents) - and it should be retro to when they split - assuming that assets/debts have been delt with, which I don't think they have.
MOST people who have a decent job (and make 45K), don't quit that job and start living with mom and dad to avoid CS payments - especially considering that there is a case for SS which may offset the CS. Some people (the courts) believe in sharing net disposible income - which given that she make more than him would be a case for SS - so why would he stop working unless he had issues? Given this, it is not fair to impute an income on him that he is not making - BUT he is supporing himself, he does have an income, and that should be used for CS calculation - not his previous 45 K income.
I do wonder though what is going on with the marital assets and debts...I get the impression that he has walked away from that and has not received his fair share - but I am not sure and I don't want to reread the posts again!
