136.0. "she quit her job" by LUNER::MACKINNON () Mon Jun 17 1991 09:59

    
    
    
    Hi All,
    
    
    John and I just found out that his ex quit her job.  She has not told
    him of this yet, but he has confirmed this by calling her employer.
    Thier daughter also confirms this, but she is four so we really can't
    count her version of this story.
    
    A few months ago he was brought into court by DOR per request of the
    ex to have his wages attached, to have him pay for Erin's medical
    insurance, and to have the arrears decided upon.  He did not get
    his wages attached per order of the judge.  He was not ordered to
    pay for her medial insurance per order of the judge.  The arrears
    amount was decided upon and the schedule to pay was set.
    
    Last week his personnel office notified him that they had received
    a requst for a financial statement from DOR through NY DOR.  It
    stated that if a request had been made within the past four months
    to ignore the letter.  So he called DOR and was told to ignore the
    letter as he had a court judgement within four months.
    
    
    Needless to say all of the pieces are falling into place and we
    are beginning to see what she has planned.  From our summation,
    she has quit work for the summer as Erin will be starting kindergarten
    next year.  She wanted him to pay for Erin's insurance because she
    knew she was not going to be covered when she quit/left her job.
    She wants more money from him because she is not working and
    will need the money.
    
    
    1.  Is there a way that this can be used to his advantage?  IE
        can this be seen by the courts as a deliberate act which
        would endanger the well being of thier child?
        
    
    2.  Does her quitting her job have an effect on the amount of
        support he will be required to pay?
    
    3.  Does her not having a job make him legally responsible for
        providing the child with medical insurance?
    
    
    Any info would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Michele

    Quiting a job is volenteer (sp) un-employment. And IF you make that
    point made. It may have an effect on the out come of the battle. Gotta
    understand her (ex's) next move might be alimony, unless she is
    remarried. Then yes expect your child suport to go up. Relax, take a
    deep breath, and find out what you can about the ex and her job
    quitting. Remember when you mess with the best, you die like the rest.
    Get tuff!

    Probably not.  Most courts limit "endangerment" to physical and
    emotional.

    She may try to get his support increased, but since she just tried
    and failed, and *voluntarily* quit her job she *shouldn't* be able to.
    Same difference as if NCP quits job in order to try and get lower 
    support payments.

>        providing the child with medical insurance?
    
    Probably not unless the court orders it.  If she was responsible for
    insurance before quitting her job, then she will likely still be.
    Again same as NCP quitting job to shaft the CP.

    Update:
    
    John spoke with the ex last night and asked her why she left her
    job.  She stated that she wanted some time for herself and has
    decided to temp for a while.  
    
    Once before she threatened to leave the state and take Erin.  John
    went into court at that point and the court awarded him temp custody.
    We both think that she is planning on doing this again, but we can
    not confirm it.  She has been talking about moving to California 
    for the past few months.  He is going to speak to a lawyer today to
    see what his next step should be.  I think he should go in with
    a motion to gain temp custody again because I honestly think she
    is planning on relocating to the west coast.
    
    Will let you know what happens.
