The respondent father moved to vary a temporary child support order, seeking a reduction based on his decreased income after quitting his job.
He argued his decision to become underemployed was reasonable due to health issues and a desire for more time with the child.
The applicant mother sought to impute income, arguing the underemployment was intentional and unreasonable.
The court dismissed the respondent's motion, finding his explanation for the income reduction unreasonable, particularly given the timing shortly after a consent order for support.
The court imputed income to the respondent at his previous agreed-upon level.
