Q: Is there a way to verify income of self employed, He is currently 11K behind on child support for 4 kids.
My ex took me to court 4 years ago and reduced my child support by almost half, because he no longer worked a corporate job but instead became self employed. Fast forward to now... He is currently over 11K behind in child support even at the reduced amount. And trying to have the amount reduced yet again, or just not pay it. His wife is a lawyer with a well paying corporate job. So he claims she is the only one making income, and her income amount is unusable for child support purposes.
My question is ... He recently leased an additional 10K sq foot building for his company, and I believe he would have had to fill out some kind of credit/ lease application on this, showing an amount of income the business makes in order to qualify, would I be able to get this application and use to prove his business income? Would it require court, or could it be done through OAG?
A: OAG is unlikely to do that much work. You should probably get a private attorney. Those records will need to be subpoenaed.
