CASE NUMBER:
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.
Petitioner Respondent shall make all reasonable good faith efforts to seek and obtain gainful
employment in accordance with his/her skills and abilities. Failure to do so may result in the Court basing
support on ability to earn for the purposes of determining child and spousal support. Failure to make
good faith efforts may be considered by the court as a basis for modifying, setting, or terminating
support.
2. The job seeker shall make at least
ten (10) applications for jobs every week and shall
immediately register with at least five (5) temporary employment agencies, including the One Stop
Center in his/her county. The job seeker shall keep a written log of all efforts to obtain employment, including
registering for work with temporary agencies during any periods of unemployment. The log shall be in writing
on the form attached to this Order and shall include the name, address, telephone number, and email address,
if applicable, of any application made, the date of the job application or interview, and the results of the
application and any follow up done. Copies of the log shall be sent to the other party and his or her attorney on
a monthly basis on or before the first of each month, starting

of obtaining employment shall be effective as of the date of employment. If the job seeker has obtained
employment before the next hearing, he or she is to bring copies of three (3) most recent pay stubs (if
available) or a letter of employment for any periods of employment as well as the logs for any periods of
unemployment.
