Expert Evaluations
Often in divorce proceedings a vocational assessment is needed to determine a spouse’s earning capacity. Earning capacity impacts the resolution of the economic aspects of a divorce, including both alimony and often child support.
The vocational expert evaluates the employability of an individual for the purpose of assessing their ability to obtain employment and earn an income. Vocational assessments may be necessary to determine the amount of support a spouse can contribute to his or her own support and support of the children.
