From The Legal Intelligencer: “Unemployment and Support Obligations in the Time of a Pandemic”
In an article published in The Legal Intelligencer on July 10, 2020, family law partner Hillary Moonay discusses the implications of COVID-19 related unemployment on support obligations. With many people losing jobs or being furloughed, and the ability to find a new job being almost impossible, support obligations are extremely stressful. In the article Hillary answers the following questions:
- Will courts assess individual earning capacity differently for COVID-19-related job loss?
- How will overburdened court systems manage increased support modification requests?
- Do unemployment compensation benefits matter for support purposes?
