(20,234 posts)The ex quit his job as a coffee slinger, and didn't look for a new job. He was ordered to pay $20 a week support at that point. He did whine some that he was unable to come up with the stupid $20 - but I noticed he was able to pay more than that each week to support his smoking habit, and it was hard to be overly sympathetic when he was prioritizing his smoking over buying food for our kid. My experience hasn't been that the impuded income has been excessive, it's not like they said "you aren't working but we think you could pay a few hundred a week."
Were you able to find any information about how much this guy was earning when he was a lawyer, and what his ordered payments were when he fell behind? I thought it was weird that it wasn't blasted all over the video or other support sites - seems like they'd want to make the point of how outrageous his payments were compared to his income. I know I would if I had an unreasonable amount ordered.
