Situation:
I'm a couple of years into the court system. Before separation, my wife was working about %80 of full time hours, after moving out; she now works approx %35-40 of full time hours. She could easily be working 40 hours+ each week. The first year after separation she made approx %60 of what she had made the previous year.
There are 8-10 job posting a week at her place of employment, and they call to see if she can work pretty much everyday she is scheduled to be off.
She intentionally stopped working as much as she did in an attempt for sole custody.
I currently pay CS in a joint parenting arrangement, I actually have the kids more that %50 of the time; and I also pay SS based on her earnings the year we separated, based on an interim order.
Her and her lawyer have not brought forth last year's earning yet.
I'm curious to know if the 'intentionally under-employed' aspect will come back and bite her, or will I be labeled with ever increasing support payments.
Has anyone been able to prove the ex is under-employed and have the courts back them up on it?
At case conference, the judge did lay out that she was expected to work her way towards full time hours, but since then, she has done the opposite.
