A-4447-05T2
When calculating child support, the trial court erred in
imputing income based on New Jersey wages to a parent who was
living and working in a foreign country where wages were
dramatically less than here. The family had been living in the
foreign country and was visiting New Jersey when the parents
separated. The father then returned to the foreign country and
was unable to obtain a visa to come back to the United States.
His child support payment should have been based on what he
could earn in the foreign country.
