The applicant mother brought a motion to change seeking updated child support, arrears, and a restraining order against the respondent father.
The court found a material change in circumstances and imputed income to the father, a long-haul truck driver who also operated a pesticide sales business, due to his unreliable financial disclosure and unreasonable deduction of personal expenses.
The court disallowed his Schedule III meal deductions for child support purposes and refused to deduct his corporate losses.
Child support arrears were fixed at $25,350.50.
The court also granted a restraining order against the father, finding his communications to be threatening and indicative of coercive control, and ordered him to complete a Partner Assault Response program.
