In re Marriage of LaBass & Munsee

In In re Marriage of LaBass & Munsee (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 1331, the evidence showed that a former, custodial spouse held a substitute teaching credential which would have allowed her to teach anywhere in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The moving party presented opinion testimony indicating that the custodial parent could obtain full-time employment; numerous want ads soliciting applications from persons with the custodial parent's qualifications; and a pay scale obtained from the school district. This evidence was sufficient to impute income to the custodial parent based on a capacity to earn. (Id. at pp. 1334-1335.)
