A mother requested an order modifying child support after the father won an annuity worth $2 million in the state lottery. At the same time she requested the father be ordered to "pay his share of the child's unreimbursed medical expenses" and that she be reimbursed for her attorney fees incurred in the motion for modification of child support. The father quit his job after winning the lottery and described himself as "self-employed." The magistrate increased the father's child support obligation, ordered him to pay $1,300 of the mother's attorney fees, and ordered him to pay a portion of the unreimbursed medical. A district court affirmed the magistrate's findings and order. On appeal the court (1) upheld the medical expenses portion of the order, (2) held that the father's increased income constituted a change of circumstances warranting modification of his child support obligation, and (3) held that the father was voluntarily unemployed.
1. Explain the "changed circumstances" cited by the appellate court in upholding the ruling of the magistrate.
2. Write a brief summary of the court's discussion of the "voluntarily unemployed" issue (Issue III).
