The applicant mother brought a motion to change a 2013 child support order, seeking to impute an income of $50,000 to $65,000 to the respondent father and claiming retroactive section 7 expenses.
The respondent argued his income was limited due to severe, long-standing mental health issues, including ADHD and depression.
The court reviewed the respondent's medical history and employment efforts, finding he was not intentionally under-employed but was managing his health challenges as best he could.
The court imputed only a modest additional $3,500 to his reported income based on actual earnings from odd jobs.
The court dismissed the applicant's claims for retroactive section 7 expenses, a life insurance order, and a restraining order, but ordered proportional sharing of future section 7 expenses.
