The parties separated after a five-year relationship.
They agreed to shared custody of their two children.
The applicant mother, a full-time teacher, sought to impute income to the respondent father, arguing he was intentionally underemployed as a supply teacher.
The court declined to impute income, finding the father's pursuit of a full-time teaching career reasonable despite the delay caused by hiring regulations.
Applying the Contino framework for shared custody, the court ordered the mother to pay $750 monthly in child support.
The court also awarded the father $250 monthly in spousal support on compensatory and non-compensatory grounds, recognizing his career sacrifices to care for the children during the marriage.
