arrears in the alimony and child support payments.
Events Subsequent to the Audes' Divorce
After the marriage ended, petitioner learned information
regarding the financial affairs for the years at issue. She
discovered that Mr. Aude had written checks to supermarkets,
which were hundreds of dollars over the actual purchase price.
She also learned the financial worth of the household during the
years at issue.
In 1988, petitioner sold the family home, which she received
in the divorce, and used the proceeds to purchase a home in
Palmdale, California (Palmdale home). The Palmdale house was
later refinanced to pay Erik's medical bills. Currently, the
Palmdale home is held as a rental property, but the rental income
derived from the property does not cover the mortgage on the
property. After withdrawing funds for attorney fees for the
divorce and for medical expenses for Erik, petitioner rolled over
the balance of the profit-sharing fund into an individual
retirement account.
After her divorce from Mr. Aude, petitioner worked part-time
for a university. She attended college on a part-time basis from
1983 through 1985, but she had to quit when Mr. Aude became
delinquent in his alimony payments. In 1990, petitioner enrolled
in a junior college to study computers. Petitioner remarried in
1990. At the time of trial, petitioner and her current husband
were unemployed.
