Q: How do I fight a potential spousal support judgement?
So my husband and I had our status conference today and at which point he decided that he did not want to go with the separation agreement that we both agreed on and is now potentially asking for spousal support. How do I show that he is just a gold digger and after money.? He has committed identity theft against me he has tried to get me fired from my job and he refuses to get a job he has not worked since December 31st of last year and a few jobs that he has had he has been fired from because of drug use
A: You can ask that income be imputed to him at the wage that he is capable of earning. Some would hire a vocational evaluator expert witness to do this. You can also provide copies of prior pay statements to indicate what you believe that he is capable of earning. However he may come up with reasons as to why he can not earn that income now.
