Dad Earns $50/hour, Works Minimum 48 Hours/week | Child Support Court

Child support modification. Here's a summary of the key points:

Parties Involved:

Fredo Quiones (Respondent): Father seeking child support modification.
Melissa Lopez (Petitioner): Mother of the children.
Antonio Rodriguez: Associate Judge.
Attorney General (represented by Ms. Kaplan and Mr. Canoth): Representing the state's interest.
Mr. Carlos Young: Attorney for Fredo Quiones.
Key Issues:

Quiones's Income: The primary point of contention is Quiones's current income. He's temporarily working in Reno, Nevada, at a higher hourly rate ($50) than his usual El Paso rate ($32). Both parties and the judge agree that his regular El Paso wage should be the basis for the calculation. There's also testimony regarding additional, undocumented side work Quiones does, which complicates the income calculation.
Overtime: Quiones's overtime hours vary significantly. He typically works 40 hours a week in El Paso, but sometimes works 48 hours or more, especially when finishing projects.
Health Insurance: Quiones provides health insurance for the children, and both parties agree this should continue. The cost of his insurance contribution is factored into the child support calculation.
Travel Expenses: Quiones incurs travel costs to visit his children in El Paso. This is considered by the court when setting the child support amount.
