@mommdc you asked this question earlier and I kinda brushed it off.
Could my ex-wife be considered a displaced homemaker?
Definition of Displaced Homemaker
A displaced homemaker is someone who satisfies all of the following criteria:
They provided unpaid servicers to family members in the home, such as a stay-at-home parent.
-> Yes this was true for 7 years long time ago. (marriage ended 12 years ago)
They ware supported by income from another family member but are no longer supported by that income.
-> Yes this was true for 7 years long time ago
They are unemployed or underemployed and are having difficulty obtaining or upgrading employment.
-> She was underemployed due to her licensing issue.
I know her recent underemployment is not directly related to the other 2 questions, but that is not how the 3 questions are posed.
As far as I know she was not laid off nor did she quit. She just earned less that year because of a licensing issue that prevented her from working for part of the year. So I dont think she could qualify for straight dislocated worker. But maybe she could also.
