What can I do if my spouse quits his job to avoid paying alimony and child support?

If your spouse quits his job voluntarily, income can be imputed to him as if we were still working.  Once he finds himself in arrears and in violation of a court order for failing to support his family, he will be highly motivated to find himself a new job.  He is posturing and trying to intimidate you.  How does he plan to support himself?  I would recommend calling his bluff. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
