Ask a Lawyer: Ability To Comply

Question:

I have a current order that says that I am to pay my former spouse $350 a month for child support. This is to the penny based on what the guidelines show that I should pay in Virginia. This does take into account what I pay for my son's health insurance also. My higher paying job was done away with in March 2005 and I started a new job the very next week I was released from my management position. I was released because sales were slow for the business and the owner saw it necessary to let me go (high salary) and for him to manange our stores himself. I am on a set "training pay" for 6 months then I will be on commission only. My set pay shows that I should pay quite a bit less and then, taking into account what I pay for my son's health insurance, now makes it even a little less. What I need to know is since we will not be in court until the end of this year and I cannot afford to pay the $350 a month since I do not have the "present ability to comply" due to my lower paying job for now, can I faithfully pay her what would be required by the guidelines and keep myself from getting in trouble for not obeying the current order that says I should pay $350 a month? Thanks for your items I purchased form the Dads Store. It has helped me quite a bit.

Answer:

I suggest that you make all arrangements to make the payment of $350.00 per month. It could jeopardize your case if you are in contempt of court when you try to modify the child support amount. However, if you absolutely do not have the money pay as much as possible. Do not under any circumstances not pay any amount of support.

Ask a Lawyer: How long can extensions be granted if the ex doesn't look for a job?

Posted by Dads Divorce in Maintenance , job , inaction , imputing income , extension , employment , Child Support , Child Support , CA , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My ex-wife has been voluntary unemployed for three years. The kids are in school full-time. She went to court to collect more child support because of the fact she isn't working. The judge ordered her to get a job within 60 days. Since then, she hasn't really look for one and got an extension of 30 days. I have two questions: 1) How many extensions can she get? Can the court keep dragging this on for another decade when my youngest turns 18? 2) Does she have a legal responsability to help support herself and the kids (all her income comes from me through child support)?

Answer:

I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of CA. as I am not licensed in that State. In my jurisdiction the court can impute your ex-wife income based upon her age, education, prior work history and skills. Consider retaining a vocational expert for the case. They are relatively inexpensive and can provide great testimony. In my area cases typically take nine to twelve months to complete. The Court controls their docket, but our Supreme Court keeps an accounting of how long cases are taking in each division.
