My guess as to the income potential of a loan broker in Arizona (or Orange County) right now – especially one without an existing network of recent clients: $0
Any loan broker worth his salt should have been making $155K in 2003 – one of my buddies was making this kind of money JUST doing refis for his past clients – his past clients kept calling him to do refis because interest rates kept dropping – he didn’t have to do any advertising for new loan business
The market has changed dramatically since then

As a father I am interested to see how the court handles this one – if the court really doesn’t care about the man (which is the perspective of men paying alimony and child support) it will award you benefits based on the $155K – a more realistic decision IMO would be to assume that the guy will earn the median wage for the area and then revisit the decision in six months or a year
