Thanks, Jon. I have heard a little about, "potential to earn", and that the Judge would look at that if the current earnings seems unreasonably low. W is a licensed insurance agent. I am not sure how the courts would be able to assess that as an income value, based on the fact that there is a HUGE range or earning potential in jobs that are commission based. I guess time will tell, and I really hope you're right. It makes me so irritated that W is not making more of an effort to secure her own financial stability, for the good of her and my daughter. She is simply allowing OM to support her with house, food and daughters needs. At this point in her life, I see her being literally STUCK in that relationship, whether she likes it or not. She earns 500 bucks a month. What would she do and where would she go? It's sad.
