[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s logical and I’m the idiot. A friend’s plan:

Husband makes more than wife. They are divorcing, two kids. He’s in the process of changing jobs. He will be taking a hefty pay cut, his reasoning for doing this is so he won’t have to pay as much in child support.

To me, this seems stupid and like the real loser in this is, not only his kids, but himself!

If he makes $200 and gives her 25%, he now has $150 for himself.

But if he’s making $100 and gives her say, only 5%, he now has only $95 for himself.

If it’s logical and I’m wrong, can anyone explain?

Voluntary impoverishment is not viewed kindly by the courts.  This is what it sounds like this is the intent.  The spouse who does this can have his income imputed for intentionally earning less.  He would then need to pay as if he was making the higher pay and she may get paid the amount he would have paid if his income stayed the same.  [/quote]

You seem to know a lot. Is this the same person who wrote 95% of all divorces are paperwork? This doesn’t sound like “paperwork.”   [/quote]
