    Default child and spousal support

    I am receiving $3197 a month for spousal and child support ($2400 for spousal and $797 for child support). I have just learned that my estranged husband has taken a new job making $30,000 less. How will this affect my support. He claims that his working conditions have become intolerable and he had to find a new job.

    Default Modification of Support

    If he moves to modify support you (I would suggest through your attorney) can argue that the higher income should be imputed to him, and that you shouldn't be penalized for his voluntary reduction in income.

    Default

    I am afraid that I will have to get a job. I really don't want one. My husband says that the court will impute income to me and I will have to work. What is the possiblity of this? Also, what is the liklihood that I could get permanant spousal support we were married 10 years before separation and we live in Virgina.

    Default Imputed Income and Spousal Support

    Those are questions you should pose to a lawyer familiar with the history of your case, your divorce judgment, and your present situation.
