The way you prove he has the ability to earn is to retain the services of a vocational evaluator. That person will make a report showing how much your husband can earn and places where he will qualify for employment. The court will then use that information to impute that ability to work and potential income to him. That number will affect how much, if any, spousal support you will have to pay. I strongly suggest you have your lawyer or a lawyer assist you with this process because, depending on the length of your marriage, spousal support could become quite burdensome. Good luck.
