My question involves divorce in the State of: CA
1 child; married 6 years (2001 to 2007); divorce pending since late 2007
STBX was working at time of separation (25/hr) until she was fired (not laid off/disabled/etc) in May 08. Has been unemployed since. She is living at home with family and has already filed for bankruptcy. Only bill she has is a car payment and insurance. She had several temporary job offers for 15-20 during the summer, but turned them down as she felt they did not pay enough. Job market in CA is very bad now and sounds like she can't get a job.
I make approx 100k and have been with the same employer for 8 years. Understand that I will be on the hook for some support for up to 3 years, but want to know if the courts will impute some income even though she's not working at the time and the job market is bad. Atty suggested that we wait until she returns to work, but it doesn't sound like thats going to happen anytime soon.
Am already paying 1000/mo in child support + 150/mo for health insurance and my 50% of the marital debt.
Thanks
