In In re Marriage of Padilla (1995) 38 Cal. App. 4th 1212 the supporting party resigned his job to open his own business, with the goal of increasing earnings. The trial court imputed income after specifically finding no bad faith motive in respondent's actions. On appeal, the court upheld that decision. "Statutory commands and the inherent responsibility parents owe their children lead us to conclude the bad faith rule, as applied to child support . . . can no longer be supported. Once persons become parents, their desires for self-realization, self-fulfillment, personal job satisfaction, and other commendable goals must be considered in context of their responsibilities to provide for their children's reasonable needs. If they decide they wish to lead a simpler life, change professions or start a business, they may do so, but only when they satisfy their primary responsibility: providing for the adequate and reasonable needs of their children."
