If he quits a higher paying job so that he has to pay less support? Judges have been known to have them pay at a higher rate (of their former job) forcing these jerks to work 2 or 3 jobs, because they're attempting to manipulate the legal system and get out of paying more money. Say he was a doctor, and child support would be $3000/monthly based on a salary of $150,000. He doesn't want to pay that much, so he quits and gets a job as a waiter paying $15,000 so his support will only be $300/monthly.
That is wrong. So men have been forced to pay support of $3000/mo, while they're only making $15,000 at their job because they are purposefully underemployed. It's illegal. Judges don't like it, and these men, if they can't get their old job back, have to work several jobs to afford the child support they were doing their best to NOT have to pay.
It's a big no-no, but every year, you hear of some idiot trying it. Then they wind up with problems they couldn't have dreamed of.
Now, if he's already paying support, and gets fired....he can ask for payments to be lowered. That is another legal process, a modification of an existing order.
