I am sure he got a cut in pay, but how much really, I don't know.
His boss is his uncle.
All he brought to court with him was a (supposed) letter from his uncle claiming he had to cut his pay 90k. He also brought with him his 2008 tax return which showed the salary he was making before the cut. He did not bring his 2009 tax return or any other proof his salary has been cut. The judge ordered him to bring it by the next hearing or his petition will be dismissed. Along with this proof, she wants him to show proof that he has been looking for other employment or a second job to show that he has been looking to make up for the loss of income.
Ex was not being upfront with his lawyer about a lot of things. My lawyer had to fill him in. You could tell that his lawyer was frustrated with my ex in front of the judge. He didn't know about my ex's side business (which he is now claming he hasn't made money with it in over a year), he didn't know that is uncle was his boss, and when he told ex to make sure I got proof of my health insurance (ex switched companies without telling me and then wouldn't give me my health insurance card) ex didn't give it to me until the morning of court. When my lawyer stated the obvious, "If your client is so broke, then how come he can afford you," lawyers response was that ex's grandfather was paying for him. Nice, how about he pay for his grandchildren's child support instead?
Miss H, LOL This Judge is not buying any of this junk. If you noticed, she wanted his 2009 W-2 and PROOF he was looking for a 2nd job. If he had really gotten a $90,000 pay cut, he would have brought in his W-2. He has nothing here, he sounds like a first class moron. Keep the heat on him, he will screw up!
Not paying child support is a serious thing. Judges are use to all the game playing and manipulating spouses try to do. This reeks of scamming especially since ex works for uncle. My ex just tried to reduce child support drastically. He also claimed extreme loss of income. It did not work. Once the divorce degree and the amount was decided, judges like to stick to this no matter what. It takes a lot to change this number. A 5 year old can see what he is trying to do. Have faith Miss H, truth and justice are on your side.
