Q: Is there a higher child support calculation if the non-custodial parent moves across country reducing his visitaation?
Not only did he move but he wuit his job taking a lower pay job and cancelled his Christmas visit.
A: When you say non-custodial, it sounds as if you have primary custody (70% or more custody time). In that case, the other parent's visitation percentage does not change the support calculation (it's the same between 70 and 100% of the time). If the other parent wants the child support amount changed due to a change of jobs, then it's up to him or her to file a request with CSSD or a Motion with the court. You would receive notice of that, and could then file objections. If he/she claims no income, you can ask that a reasonable amount of income be imputed based on the other parent's income potential.
