Paulin v. Paulin

Opinion

KING, J.

In this case we hold that substantial evidence supports the trial court’s finding that a child support payor was entitled to a statutory hardship deduction due to justifiable expenses resulting from the birth of twins to *1381himself and his present wife which caused extreme financial hardship. We also hold, where the former wife had remarried and had voluntarily ceased her employment, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by fixing her income, for purposes of the statutory child support formula, based upon her earning capacity.
