The term is "impute." The courts can impute a higher income to a spouse or party based on past income.

If your ex voluntarily quit her job without justification then the court cord impute to her the same income she made from that past job. This area of the law is complicated. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to review your case and explore your legal options.
