QUESTION

underemployment

Asked on Jan 30th, 2016 on Child Support - Florida
More details to this question:
I am just about to file for divorce. I suspect my husband intentionally searched and accepted minimal wage job after we relocated. In the past he was employed in management positions and now he works as a sales assistant. He is very open about wanting to pay as little of child support as possible. How can I point to the court his intentions? Do I need a lawyer? Please advice, thank you!

Hello.  An argument can be made that he is underemployed intentionally.  It wouldn't be a stretch for the Judge to make that conclusion.  Introducing past records/tax returns would prove your opinion.  It's not unusual for people to prepare for years to get divorced, transferring assets and other things.  I have been practicing law in the family/divorce area for over 25 years, and am your best choice when you decide to hire an attorney.  That is, of course, assuming you live in Orange or Osceola counties, as that's where my office is.  My email is readinglaw@hotmail.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to schedule a consultation.
