Imputing Income
It is not uncommon for the income of one or both spouses to suffer an unexplained drop when a divorce is imminent. When a person's income falls below his or her earning potential, or certain income does not show up on paper, the courts may impute income to that person. By imputing, the court is essentially increasing the person's reported income to the level of "earning potential" when calculating child support and/or spousal support.
Imputing income is one of the many issues our legal team can help you understand as we navigate you through the divorce process.
