You need to do some research on imputing income. Its not something that you can just say "he could make 30 g a year". There are a number of factors a judge has to consider including education level, previous pattern of employment, current opportunities, health concerns, criminal records etc. Most of the time (and I could be wrong here but this is my understanding of the research Ive done) imputing income is mainly due to purposeful unemployment. People who refuse to work to pay child support. If this guy has so many issues in his life that he cant earn enough then you have a steep climb. If hes just being an ass and refuses to work or works under the table then you may be a bit more successful. But its all a crap shoot.
And again, your partner needs to decide if its worth going after. If youre already struggling financially, wasting time and money on a no win legal battle would deplete you further.
You may want to get some legal advice on your chances before making a move.
