In the recent case of St. Cyr v. St. Cyr, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals upheld a determination that a wife involved in a divorce case was capable of earning income of $10 an hour despite the fact that she had cancer (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) and had not worked for years. The court indicated that the wife was voluntarily impoverished and that the determination regarding earning capacity involves a certain amount of speculation.
