NORTH DAKOTA Part 30

What if the Paying Parent Claims to Have no Income or Stops Working?

Sometimes paying parents don't make child support payments because they don't work, or they don't work enough. For example:

    The paying parent might voluntarily become unemployed. For example, a paying parent could outright quit a job.

    The paying parent voluntarily became "underemployed." North Dakota defines underemployment as a paying parent having gross income that is significantly less than the statewide average for people with a similar work history and job qualifications. Voluntary underemployment happens when the parent asked for a schedule reduction or accepted a position with less responsibility and less pay.
