Imputing income is a complex situation and if your field is dying and leaving means losing time with your kids, your ex would have to demonstrate why an income should be imputed. If you were to quit your job to sell coconuts on a beach yes she could argue for imputation. If you have a job that is downsizing and you are unable to find work in that field that still allows you to be close to your children and you move into another field making a relatively similar income, you could argue that your income does not require imputation. Its a lot more complicated than I get imputed if Im not working. For you, realistically you would have to move to the middle east to continue in your field with a job but that would mean limited time with your children. If you were to go into a field that was somewhat equivalent but with say $20,000 less a year it may not be such a difficult argument.
Look at imputed incomes on canlii. Its not as black and white as some people make out.
