It’s A Sad Day When A Father Doesn’t Want To Support His Children.

The appellate court affirmed a trial court’s exercise of discretion to impute income to a father pursuant to Family Code § 4058(b). The appellate court also affirmed the trial court’s child support order because substantial evidence supports the trial court’s findings the father had the ability and opportunity to keep his job, that his termination from his job was really voluntary divestiture of resources and that he was diverting business to his father’s company to avoid his child support obligations.
