Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
Ex Wife refuses to go to work
If the ex-wife refuses to go to work (but
worked most of her life) and is being
supported by her father should the
court consider her past income or her
father's contribution as income in
calculating my child support obligation?

Re: Ex Wife refuses to go to work
Income for purposes of child support obligations is specifically set forth by statute. One, earning capacity is a factor the court may consider in determining child support. Second, depending on the frequency of the contributions, they may be considered recurring gifts. There are specific guidelines the court must follow. You should refer to these guidelines.
