while but this last time she filed the petition dissolution marriage two weeks after i was suspended from the practice of law in february of two thousand thirteen evidence because the very clearly the evidence that's most relevant would have been the recent past it's my understanding that the court can't speculate as to earnings in the  dollars in the year two thousand and thirteen when i was suspended for six months it was an operating loss of eighty thousand dollars and in the first three months of two thousand and fourteen relevant evidence the judge should have used to decide the issue of maintenance and no matter how you cut up the pie there's not enough money to pay thirty two hundred fifty dollars a month for it's the last three months before he made a decision only they did thirty five hundred dollars a month so i say that that i think i really believe the judge ignored th average made as much as what judges would make solo work out well my wife and i we got married she had two three children and i had two and we both had custody of  children so we raised total of eight children and off five of my daughters are on the college the last two are both the seniors next year is this coming year his thought was money why should enjoy i do agree of comfort as a single person which i agree but the income situation this changed dramatically in the last few years and i presented evidence that of course the suspension for six months was there was a blow to my reputation it definitely hurt my ability to our client clients and it continues to dog me to this day primary evidence that the judge had before him was a two thousand and twelve tax return two thousand and thirteen tax return in the first three months of two thousand and fourteen as to the only other issue to argue that the thousand dollars of student loan which which are actually i could pay so far i get through this all five dollars will not have been a student loan that's where i'd like it because i had a lot when found a commendable that you're able to do that here daughters but at this point now you know with your wife having been out of the workforce for so long i think she felt like the priority needed to be the wife rather than the daughters especially since they only have one more year to go maybe to it both times i understand that i took that as christmas of the perhaps it wasn't meant that way but it but that problem was gone issue i think is hundred twenty three thousand dollars in two thousand levon his gross was to approximate two hundred thousand dollars from the practice of law his adjusted gross in two thousand and twelve which is the number in the record is sixty five thousand and in two thousand and thirteen his gross receipts were one hundred and thirty three thousand but that was the year it was suspended he had was out of business for six months they expect aaron two hundred thousand price in the year that would have been gross i'm sure there's no reason to doubt that he can't do that if he remains practicing  law he's a competent practitioner he's had and that's the reputation i'm not sure of about his bad reputation from the suspension but he's ba business i've observed him in various locales he's a competent practice are he's got to overcome whatever the reason he was suspended for given that i would suggest that he probably can earn again two hundred thousand dollars based on his track record and based on overcoming being out of the practice six months in two thousand  fourteen at the time of the trial shortly afterwards he had earned three thousand four hundred and ninety dollars that her mother that would have brought him suggests that they're worth at least fifty pounds these and keep up a mr kissinger is a member of the country club we don't dispute or criticize that except she is not anymore because her membership foreclosure the marital home which is a very nice of seven bedrooms and one hundred thousand dollars quote shed or garage where he says cars they had to pull out of the premises that his daughter purchased the property now her one hundred fifty thousand dollars for the marital home he had his daughter has loaned him without notes fifty thousand on one occasion forty thousand on another occasion money was awarded prior to that statute but if you view the statute and i only as a guideline and taking the statutory factors and the calculations of the new mai the a he her gross of seven forty two times twenty percent which is the doc that you come to a total of three thousand six hundred seventy six dollars time my income is dropping like a rock he may go into the trial court and say i was a reduction of our toleration of maintenance because of certain factors but those this case of a lot of their five thousand dollars to trial one last thing  mrs caissons your is looking for employment to offset as she is obligated by statute to offset any mean and so award that might be who or what because i don't have a regular retainer i think ten my first ten years as a public defender and i have a regular income but beyond that now anyway i got into trouble and couldn't make my payments iras and all that  and i had to second mortgages on my home and the bank foreclosed on and my daughter and son in law purchased the property from the second mortgage holder so thirty percent would be about fifteen thousand here less a little bit my wife was getting so security so that would only be about twelve hundred dollars a month maintenance if you take two thousand and thirteen that was a i'd be better off now the problem is that i'm living day to day and this not change them becomes a serious important problem which i dread because i don't want to be b trial or put in jail because i can't make the payments but either way i'm just saying even if you use that applying to the pass not what i might make future maintenance should be
