The moving party sought to vary a 2006 consent order by terminating spousal support and reducing child support based on an alleged decrease in income following job loss.
The court found the moving party had not made bona fide efforts to obtain comparable employment and imputed income of $75,000 to him.
Income of $20,000 for 2013 and $55,000 thereafter was attributed to the responding party, taking into account health challenges, delayed career establishment, and primary caregiving responsibilities.
Spousal support was reduced for 2013 and then converted to a nominal order of $1 annually until December 31, 2018 to allow potential future variation.
Child support was recalculated based on the imputed income and the child’s university attendance, with additional contributions ordered toward post‑secondary expenses.
