The applicant father brought a motion to change seeking to impute income of $120,000 to the respondent mother for purposes of child support calculation.
The respondent mother brought a cross-motion to reduce her child support obligations on a temporary basis, citing material changes in her financial circumstances since the execution of the separation agreement.
The court found that the mother had established a material change in circumstances, with her business revenues declining dramatically from $247,061 in 2010 to $41,766 in 2013.
However, the court rejected the father's request to impute income, finding his explanations for the decline in business revenues plausible and supported by the materials filed.
The court granted the mother's motion on a temporary basis, reversing the direction of child support payments.
