US doctor reduces work hours to care for baby, court upholds higher income assessment

An Indiana doctor who reduced her working hours to care for her newborn daughter has lost her appeal after a court calculated her weekly earning capacity at $8,811, despite her reported income of $6,677. The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the decision, finding that she was capable of working full-time. It also upheld an order allowing her former husband three overnight stays a week with their daughter.
