VerifiedHello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.
Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.
Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me. Some of the other experts do take calls and so you are very welcome to request a call on this post and an expert may take it. They will have the benefit of reading our exchange which should work out very well for everyone involved!
I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.
I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.
No. Not only is it not unreasonable but it is standard. If one spouse is supporting the other the support recipient almost always has to agree to make their very best efforts to become self-sustaining.
If you believe that your former spouse is deliberately under-employed you can seek to have income imputed to her.
Does that help?
