It's interesting once people realize that SHE is the CP how things start to unfold. Yes, she has decided to sell some assets, quit working, and go back to school. I'm sure she has adjusted her family budget accordingly with no input whatsoever from the government, because she has no accountability. If you, being the NCP, on the other hand, were to try it, chances are the courts would say tough-titty and impute your income (unless, of course, your petitioned for a reduction which would probably fall on deaf ears). You're accountable - she's not (unless she gets in such a predicament that endangers the child).
