While the Court is required to consider each party’s financial circumstances in determining maintenance and child support, when and to what extent should the Court consider social security or retirement income? Should a court impute additional income onto a party when they are eligible to receive social security or retirement income, but choose not to? What effect, if any, does a child’s right to receive a portion of a parent’s social security impact support? A review of the case law will examine these questions and more.
