I know the first thing everyone is going to say is consult lawyer, Well I dont have money and made appointment with legal services as soon as I got served, I just wanted some ideas, Ex owns his own business, I know for a fact he does not report nearly half of what he takes in, he all of a sudden says his business has slowed down and wants reduced, He filed original papers july 2005 and I never got served and now they want it retroactive when papers filed, the orginal papers said I was harrassing him nothing about child support. I just want to be left alone, one more thing He is suppose to pay 650.00 a month and since day one, he kept paying car insurance against my wishes and deducts it. please give my any ideas

in wisconsin, a guy must show a tax return or w-2 to prove income and a certain percentage is given based on number of children. one child is 17%, two is 25%, etc. he may have a talented bookkeeper and that knowledge is of little use unless a lawyer has the ability to ask him under oath. even that would be difficult to prove. just explain to the court officials you are having trouble raising kids with nothing. child support agency will advocate for you if you talk to them. tell them about his insurance scam. that might help your case. good luck babe.

If you have poof he isn't claiming part of what he takes in then you should show that proof. But again, I don't live in Alambama so I don't know the divorce laws in that state. You do need to see a lawyer, you can check with your local county court they can give you all the information you need and most of the time it's for free or a nominal fee. Since you were not served the original papers there was no way you could have "answered" them...I can't see why they would be warranted retroactive. In California as well as New York the part has to be served within 30 days of filing or the filing is null and void.

Nope. NOTHING can be deducted unless it's stipulated in the decree and that's a fact. The proof is in the pudding. If he's ordered to pay $650 and only pays $500 (for example),then he's in arrears $150. Add that up and you get an idea of how much you're owed. See, this CAN be proven (hopefully). I never did trust my ex and kept records of EVERYTHING. If I ever have to take her to court, she hasn't a chance in hell. Contact the State and ask what proceedures you have to follow to recoup the ammt. owed. If you can't afford a lawyer, contact a para-legal. Plus most lawyers will give a free consultation.

Contact the IRS report his under reporting. They will give you an ID # for privacy. You will get 10% of what they find he has been hiding. Report him to the State Tax Dept and Social Security. All of the above will audit him and open an investigation. Try to give them as much info.as you can to help tell them what to look for. the phone #'s are in your phone book.

Well in cases like these, its not what you know but what you can prove in court. You cannot plea that he makes more than he is claiming, if you cannot prove it.
