The court will at least impute minimum wage to the non working spouse. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.

The court may "impute" income to the non working spouse if that spouse is voluntarily unemployed. This is very fact specific. Furthermore unemployment benefits and disability benefits may be considered income for support purposes. As such, if the spouse is unemployed but obtaining certain benefits, depending on the benefits, they may be used to assess support.
