My question involves child support in the State of: Florida
First I will fill you in with my situation. After our separation my wife moved in with family two hours north of here with my son. I then let her move back in (no intimate contact and not living as a family) in order for her to look for employment here so I could be closer to my son. She did not look for a job for several weeks so I asked her to leave at which time she moved back in with family a couple hours north. She then did not look for a job and instead decided to go back to school (she currently has an associates degree and is pursuing a bachelors) full time, not just taking 4 classes per semester but 5 at a time. She found temporary employment in the form of work-study at the university for 6 hours per week at minimum wage but she has now informed me the amount allotted to fund her work study has been depleted so she is once again no longer working. I have continued to pay her cell phone, car insurance, $500 car payment on a $30k Malibu LTZ, maintenance on the car including oil changes and all (she drives a lot to see her boyfriend who lives 4 hours away), and I have been paying her $500 child support, even though it has not yet been ordered by the court. I also pay all the credit card bills we incurred while married. I only make $35k per year so this is only leaving me with $15-20 after each pay check but I want my son to have what he needs.
Now my question. When I filed my petition for dissolution of marriage I included a child support guidelines worksheet. On it I had my spouse as earning no income and I filed a motion to deviate from the guidelines. I have recently heard of imputing income and am wondering if I should do this somehow and file an updated child support work sheet, or if the court will handle all that in our hearing with the magistrate next month. If it is something I can do, do I just put in minimum wage at 40 hours per week?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
