Not much. He's allowed to retire if he chooses to, you can't force him to work forever.
HOWEVER, if he's capable of making a decent wage, he should be, OR his income should be imputted to a level that his skills, training and education would allow in your area.

Oh there you are Susan....the new wife of Respondent...I would be happy to leave him alone if he were man enough to take care of his children without having to be dragged in court. I left him alone for ten years when he chose not to be part of his daughters life and contributed peanuts that i had to fight for in court...and I told him when he finally wanted to be part of her life that it was not a revolving door...now that she has again become an inconvenience because of university expenses..i am not going to walk away. Aren't you supposed to be busy getting your daughter ready for boot camp?

The most glaring example of this was when you identified the first name of your child's fathers wife, yet at the same time hide your own name (as most of us do).
I suspect nothing will change your attitude in this and I believe that you are a liar as suggested by stepmom2.
You are probably causing your daughter harm with your attitude with respect to her father.

Should he be forced into working for a 'decent wage' after retirement age to satisfy CS demands of his ex? Really? How 'right' is that?

If the reduction of income is not a material amount, a judge would likely determine that dad is not voluntarily under-employed his income and would likely not impute his income.
If what was said is true, that the difference equates to about $20 a month in c/s (a whole $240 a year), then I doubt any judge would find it unreasonable to retire as he is still maintaining a sufficient level of employment and c/s paid. How much would you expect to pay in legal fees at your lawyers rate of probably ~$300p/h to fight for this $20? You'd probably end up paying $1k+ to win $240, and that would be dumb.....(again, if the numbers suggested are true).

You come across as a very nasty person and this will not serve you well in future dealings with your ex and/or the legal system. Good luck with that.

I am fighting for my daughter to attend university. I have been "nice" for 18 years and as long as i sat back and did not vary support orders, ask for help with sports, dental, medical, anything other than the lousy 275 he was paying on a 72 k income, then he was a stellar dad. Nasty? I'm just getting warmed up....
