The applicant sought retroactive and ongoing child support.
The respondent claimed he was totally disabled and unable to pay support.
The court found the respondent had engaged in blameworthy conduct by failing to pay agreed-upon support while earning significant income and working for cash.
Relying on the respondent's own medical expert, the court concluded he was not totally disabled but could perform less physically demanding work.
The court ordered retroactive child support from January 1, 2021, and imputed an annual income of $38,000 to the respondent for ongoing support.
