Unemployed and Can’t Pay is No Excuse!
The Court may not accept a non-custodial parent’s unemployment status when considering the child support obligation. If the paying parent is unemployed but has worked at all before, the Court may attribute the income that the parent earned when that parent was working to the child support calculation. In other words they may use the income that the non-custodial parent earned at the time they were working as if the parent was currently employed and earning that same wage. I’ve seen it happen first hand!

Child custody generally is a very aggravatingfight for fogeys and for all of thefamily. Custody of the child signifies that the social gathering granted for it can get the responsibility of rearing the child. This could be a tough process for the child since they are caught in between.
