3. “In this case, in determining whether imputing income to plaintiff was appropriate, the court should have considered whether plaintiff could elect to draw her share of the pension now without any reduction in benefits. If this is the case, we believe that plaintiff would be voluntarily reducing her income ... On the other hánd, if by taking her share of the pension now she would' receive a reduced amount, it is inappropriate to impute the pension benefits as income. For 'plaintiff to defer eléction of pension benefits to a later date when the benefits would be larger should not be viewed as a voluntary reduction in income, ' but rather as a possibly prudent investment strategy.”
