A spouse quitting a job after being served divorce papers will have no bearing on any future child support arrangements. Contact our office to learn more.
Question:
What should I do if my spouse quit their job after being served divorce papers?
Answer:
If your spouse quits his or her job after being served with divorce papers, that may not affect your child support rights. If someone voluntarily reduces his or her income or takes lesser employment or gets fired, that is not necessarily a basis to reduce that person’s support obligation. You have the ability in the context of a divorce or child support proceeding to seek the imputation of income to a person who you believe is underemployed or unemployed due to his or her own fault.
