Springer, J.,
dissenting:
I agree with the majority’s conclusion that NRS 125B.080(8) requires not only a finding of willful underemployment, and requires the further finding that such underemployment was for the purpose of avoiding an obligation for support. In addition, I agree that once a finding of willful underemployment is made, the burden is properly placed on the underemployed party to show the reason for his or her underemployment. Nevertheless, I dissent. No finding was ever made as to the reasons for Dr. Minnear’s underemployment, and in my view it is not the province of this court to make such findings simply on the basis of the cold record. I would remand this case, so that the district court could inquire into the reasons for Dr. Minnear’s underemployment.
