B. Calculation of Income Imputed Based on Earning Capacity
Instructions: If the parent's income is less than the parent's earning capacity or is unknown, the court may impute income at an amount that represents the parent's ability to earn, based on the parent's education, training and recent work experience, earnings during previous periods, current physical and mental health, history of child care responsibilities as the parent with primary physical placement, and the availability of work in or near the parent's community.
