I was married for 19 years divorced and have been re-married for 3 years. I have been paying $700 per month child support for my son since my first marriage ended. My ex wife filled my sons head full of garbage (he is now 11) so I dont get to see him alot. My new wife is totally home sick so we plan on moving to New Zealand where she is from so she can go back to her family and children. She has 2 kids 11 and 15 that her ex wouldnt allow to come and move to the USA but he is going to give her full custody when we return. My ? is what will happen to my child support. I will be quitting my job and will be unemployed for hopefully a short amount of time and I know my new employment will not be paid as high as what I am earning now. I briefly spoke to one lawyer and they told me that I will still have to pay the same amount of child support as I voluntarily gave up my job. Is that correct? I do not mind paying child support but I think it should be based on the amount that I am earning. My ex wife works full time and earns really good money but apparently that doesnt matter to the courts.
Any advice appreciated.
