The Idaho child support guidelines state that additional part time employment is excluded from income for child support calculations if the person can show: (1) the excess employment is voluntary and not a condition of employment, and (2) the excess employment is in the nature of additional, part-time employment or is employment compensable as overtime pay by the hour or fractions of the hour, and (3) the party's compensation structure has not been changed for the purpose of affecting a support or maintenance obligation, and (4) the party is otherwise paid for full-time employment at least 48 weeks per year, and (5) child support payments are calculated based upon current income. If your husband can prove the above information, his additional part time employment would be excluded as income under the Idaho Child Support Guidelines.

The child support guidelines provide that a parent is not expected to work more than full time. This means that generally speaking, if a parent works a full time job and a part time job, the income from the part time job is not considered for child support purposes.

Yes. All income to his household on a regular basis is counted for purposes of child support.

The judge should include all his income in calculating support. However, he does not have to work more than 40 hours per week, so he could quit his part time job and there's nothing the courts could do.
