Can the court order my ex to get a job to lower my child support?

May 16, 2011

mens divorce lawyer William BackerQuestion:

How do child support laws work when one party refuses to work?

My ex-wife voluntarily works a part-time job and supplements her income with my child support payments. She is fully capable of gaining full-time employment.

Could the court order her to work full time to meet her financial obligations so I don't have to pay so much child support?

Parenting Time When Working Unusual Hours

May 20, 2010

By Angela Foy

Attorney, Cordell & Cordell, P.C.

Often readers will ask about the logistics of sharing child custody and parenting time when they work unusual hours or work periods. For instance, the security guard who has to work nights or the offshore driller who works two full weeks then receives two full weeks off.

Obviously an every other weekend or Monday-Wednesday-Friday parenting schedule will not work for those situations. So what do people who work these abnormal schedules do to get time with their children?

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Can the court force my ex to get a job?

Jan 18, 2010

Question: Can the court force my ex to get back into the workplace and get a job? 

I’m breaking my back working so much just to afford the child support and alimony that she’s living off of. I pay so much to them that she doesn’t even need to get a job. In no way is this fair. 

So can it be done? Can the court tell her to get to work and start contributing?

Ask A Lawyer: She Is Rewarded For Not Working

Feb 24, 2009

Question:

Why must I pay? I have joint and 50/50 parenting time. Both of us are remarried. Both of our spouses are employed. She chooses to be a stay at home mother. I choose to work. But, because I work I must pay child support and reward her for remaining at home.

I provide her a room, clothing and amenities, better than her mother. I am currently disabled. I went to the court and they stopped the support accruals. To accomplish this I claimed discrimination.

Yet, if LTD or Social Security kicks in I will probably have to pay a portion to my ex. Why am I penalized for a choice she made to stay home? While married she earned $75k, bonus, and stock options... she is capable of working. She is college educated with a degree in math.

Ask a Lawyer: Workman's Compensation: Marital or Separate Property?

Nov 29, 1999

Question:

I'm a police officer going through a divorce and am out of work as a result of a job-related injury. I have filed a workman's compensation claim for my injury disability but am still getting my regular paycheck since the injury was work-related. My wife is asking for half of the awarded claim when I get it for lost wages. Is she entitled to this? I have no lost wages at this time.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of New Jersey. In the jurisdiction where I practice, the portion of the award attributable to your lost wages is marital property. However any award attributable to pain and suffering on your part is not marital property, it is your separate property.
