Q: In FL will they ask for bank statements or can I just show my paystubs?
I want to modify my child support because I’m not making nearly as much as I once was. The other side said they’re going to request my bank statements. I occasionally have family send me money through it when I can’t afford things, will that affect it? I’m struggling to pay the amount monthly and we have a day short of 50/50 (they won’t agree to 50/50)
Originally our lawyers only went off my paystubs & it was said we’re to revisit CS every June but when I tried that earlier this year they kept accusing me of lying when I’m not.
A: You are required to provide mandatory disclosure, which includes bank statements, credit card statements, paystubs, and other financial documents.
A: Child support is based on your income, which you can prove with pay stubs if you are a W-2 employee. As long as the loans from your family are not regular (emergency only) then they should not count towards your income. However, you may have to show the bank statements to prove that. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
