change in circumstances before the court will
re-calculate the numbers. Hence, the calculation
needs to be correct the first time. Likewise, you
need to think about establishing your credibility in
court every early on. You also need to cross
examine the other side to prove that he or she has
a certain earning capacity.

The court will look at the payor's earning capacity.
Once a determination of earning capacity is made,
the parties may have to live with that finding for
quite some time. In most cases, it helps to have a
lawyer reveiw whether your case should be deemed
"complex" to allow discovery (exchange of
documents). Otherwise, you may waive discovery
and find that you go into a hearing unprepared to
evaluate what assets or earning capacity is
involved.
