The father brought a motion to change a final child support order, seeking a reduction based on his return to university for a Ph.D. and a claim of undue hardship due to his obligations to other children.
The mother opposed the reduction and sought an increase in the father's contribution to daycare costs.
The court found the father was intentionally underemployed and imputed his income at $35,000, the same level as the original order.
The court dismissed the father's undue hardship claim for lack of clear and cogent evidence, and ordered him to pay a proportionate share of the mother's increased daycare costs.
