Substantial evidence in post-dissolution proceedings for modification of child support supported trial court’s conclusion that father was underemployed and had made no effort to either become gainfully employed or earn a living; at time of dissolution, father earned average of $2,832 monthly through self-employment, father’s company had brought in no income in last five years at time of hearing, and father earned income only during one five-month period of employment during that time, and father testified that he had not applied for any jobs, was not “particularly seeking other employment,” and continued running his company despite its failure to generate revenue because he had 14-year investment in it.
