In my case the judge didn’t look at the details of my financial disclosure at all really, nor would he have taken the time to link together inconsistencies. The process was more akin to “did you each provide a full and accurate financial disclosure and have you each reviewed the disclosures with your lawyers?” (Nod) Then he ensured that payments were consistent with state formulas and sent us on our way. While it was obviously a very personal process to me we were one of probably 40 divorces he oversaw that day, so I wouldn’t expect the judge to catch inconsistencies that you don’t explicitly point out.
One of the other cases on the same day featured a guy who was not forthright in his disclosure and his W’s lawyer pointed out where and how. The judge was not pleased, scolded and shamed the guy and then sent them away to fix it and threatened contempt of court if he did it again, which meant a delay and another court date. Point is I’d probably have your lawyer raise things you take exception to before you get to court.
Stay strong!
