Q: Non-custodial parent has been lying to the state and DCFS about his income since 2002 to avoid child support payments.
I’ve been receiving child support for my son since 2002. Recently I found out that my ex has been lying about income for the last 17 years. His child support payments is based off $4,000 a month. He is making at least $250,000 a year, maybe more. He owns 8 companies that I also recently discovered. He’s been giving fraudulent information to the state and DCFS since 2002. Can I modify my child support order to be retroactive back to 2002? I feel he should be held accountable for lying. We have a court date next month for a modification to the existing child support order that was established in 2002. Also, he was court ordered in 2002 to cover my son on health insurance, which he also failed to comply with.
