Can Living Outside U.S. Reduce Support Award?
If I move to a foreign country to live with my spouse (from that country), can I ask the court/judge to modify support if I earn what the people earn there? For a real example, suppose I earn $40,000 GROSS each year in my profession in California (the United States). I will move to a developing country where I can expect to earn perhaps as much as $12,000 NET/year (salaries are reported to job applicant as net), and if I am fortunate, as much as double that (but not likely). Can I ask the judge in a U.S. family court to take this into consideration? I was, in fact, forcibly returned to the United States for non-payment of CS because I had been living abroad and paying would have meant going hungry and being unable to contribute support to the household (note however that this award for support was issued before I had emigrated although after I was married to another woman). The mother of the child receiving CS has now petitioned the court (for the 1st time in 14 years, the age of the child) for a modification of support, and with the hearing a month from now, can I ask the court if it would impose an award of support that would prevent me from emigrating to be with my family? |

You, sir, are in deep deep trouble. Get a lawyer, now. A judge is likely to consider you as having voluntarily lowered your income, and not give you any consideration for it. Neither do you get credit for having voluntarily added to your household expenses to a point where you cannot afford to pay for support.

This has happened before (and it may happen to my deadbeat sometime in the future). |

(teachrmama) asked nicely: "You've taken ownership of poor old Romaldo, have you, Brian? Are you going to have him branded if he comes back?" ---Ronaldo will be my bitch if he ever comes back here. On the assumption (probably totally incorrect) that Brian is not merely a troll, I will confidently predict that Brian has a sad lesson coming. The failure rate of second and subsequent marriages is even higher than for first marriages in the U.S. So it's very probably that in the not-too-distant future, BRIAN will be the target of "child support" collection activities. Then he'll have an opportunity to know how Ronaldo feels. But then Brian is likely only a troll. (What IS the satisfaction derived from trollery, I wonder. I suppose it's an attention-getting device, and the satisfaction is similar to what you get from dreaming up an Internet virus.) |
