My son lives with me half the yr and hlf the yr with his mother. I have joint physical and legal custody. He is 14 yrs old.. My last paychech had a large sum of money deducted from it for "child support. I have always supported my son, coached soccer, spent time in school paid most of the doctor bills, daycare etc. I know my ex and her husband are having money problems, She went behind my back, lied about my address and is hiding her income filed for support. Is there any way I can expose this to the right people and not look like a dead beat dad who doesn't want to pay?? I have proof of money send to her over the yrs..(in the thousands) and don't forget the origanal court order.. Thanks

I don't understand how she could get an order for child support without your knowledge you would have to disclose your income to the court, so how did she do that without you showing up. You can always take her back to court and prove how much time the child spends with you and you can seek child support as well. Good luck

yes there is a way---do it legally---you must present to the courts a modification of child support- If you have the proof of what you sent her on your own----and now they're doing a wage with hold too. hmmm sounds to me like someone is double dipping the system.
When you have this child in your care during your 1/2 of the year your x-wife should be paying the support for your child.
Have a family law lawyer present to the courts a motion to compel (all financial affidavits and assets regarding your wife). Under the court she will be obligated to present bank documents, pay stubs, tax returns for the last 2-3 years etc.
If you sit back and do nothing that $$$ will continue to be wage withheld from your paycheck!
USE the court system to your advantage---make sure you get the LEGAL help from a good family law attorney too. Don't attempt to accomplish this on your own PRO-SE in court!

This is very strange. I can't even fathom of a situation that would have allowed her to go "behing your back" and without referring to the court order get a child support agency to institute child support proceedings. In no way does this sound legit. My first suspicion would go to your employer. Is there anyway they withheld money based on some faulty information/fraudulent information. Perhaps they withdrew money from you that was supposed to be withdrawn from someone else? If she instituted child support proceedings through the court - you would be notified, given a chance to prove your income, her income, refer to the previous order, explain the shared parenting, etc. If she instituted through a child support agency again you would be given notice and a chance to respond. There is no way to do this so you need to question your employer and find out what happened.
BTW - congrats on reaching such an equitable shared parenting plan - sounds really good and is probably great for your son!
Good luck,

I would seriously think that the courts are going to consider the child emotional and academic well being far more than the child support payments. With this said, you need to go back to the courts (your husband) and file a petition to have the support payments stopped for this child. Custody cases are always changing and the courts are always looking for what is in the best interest of the child.

best thing to do is call a lawyer and get advice but if you know she is not being truethful be sure and have proof,keep all your receipts,and see if you can get support for the 6 mths that your son is living with you.do call attorney though and find out all you need to know,should be a free phone call.good luck

Sure.......you can go to an attorney and let him know the facts. Tell him the facts of the case from the beginning and I am sure he will be able to help you in this regard. Of course, he should be a divorce attorney or one who deals with custody suits.

You better bring that documentation to court and cover yourself.
