The moving party (former husband) brought a motion to change a 2010 consent order that required him to pay $900 per month in spousal support.
He argued that his loss of long-term employment in 2013 and subsequent inability to secure comparable income constituted a material change in circumstances.
The responding party (former wife) opposed the motion and argued that income should be imputed to him for intentional underemployment.
The court found a material change in circumstances and declined to impute income, finding the moving party had made reasonable efforts to find work.
The court reduced ongoing spousal support to $200 per month based on his current seasonal employment income.
No costs were awarded due to the moving party's late disclosure of his new employment.
