Child support will probably not be reduced because of voluntary departure from employment unless the new, lower paying employment is temporary and is reasonably intended to result in higher income within the foreseeable future, or the employment is a good faith career choice which is not intended to deprive a child of support and does not unreasonably reduce the support available to a child. Understanding child support basics can enable you to make appropriate decisions regarding employment, career choices, education, new relationships with significant others, your children's welfare, and litigation.
