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

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.
