What will happen if a person doesn't disclose accurate info in the disclosure docs? After I disclosed my info to my ex on 10/11/07, it took him until 11/26/07 to finally provide me with his info, however, he is withholding info bcuz the check stubs he submitted, which were dated for pay periods of 10/12 & 10/26 was for Job “A”, but I just found out that approx. 1 week b4 he served me his disclosure, he started working @ Job “B”, but he didn’t include any info pertaining 2 that on the worksheet. So either he has 2 jobs & is trying to withhold info on the 2nd, or he quit Job “A” & started Job “B” but did not disclose it bcuz he gets more $$.
My question is, can't he get in trouble for witholding this info? Bcuz, he's purposely lying or disclosing false/incomplete info. I didn’t ask for alimony. All I want him to do is pay 1/2 on debt acquired from the time we married to the time we physically separated, which was 75% his debt anyway & he doesn’t want to pay anything.

BTW, neither of us have a lawyer and I already agreed to 50/50 on custody of our daughter, so that was settled in August '07. And to respond to ridiculous comments about me not wanting to divorce his paycheck, we make the same amount and I’m not hard up on money. Although the looser cheated on me several times over 10 years and begged me not to go, I didn’t ask that man for anything because I can carry my own and I want to just be through with it. Hell, I upgraded HIM to be the person he is today. When I met him he was a felon only making $6.50/hr. I helped him be a better man for the sake of our family. All I want is for him to be responsible enough to handle his obligations and not try to leave me with HIS debts just because I didn’t want him back.

Courts assume everybody involved in divorce lies. They have no time or energy to do anything about it. It is up to you and your lawyer to find out about it and disclose it to the court. May make the court annoyed with him, and the info will get included, but chances are they won't do anything punitive.
Get proof and give to your lawyer. No one is going to listen that he doesn't want to pay any of the marital debt -- -it is a ridiculous position -- -he will be lucky if he doesn't get all of it if he out earns you significantly.
Good luck.

Divorced Mom you better tell your lawyer, and if he's a half way decent lawyer he will find out. The less he shows he is making the less he is hoping to pay out on your acquired debt. I do commend you for not going for alimony, although if you needed it for a while to get a job and get better established I could see it. To many times the woman goes for the jugular vein. I don't believe either one has to kill the other and it sounds as though you are being reasonable. I hope that if there are kidz involved you would both be responsible enough not to speak badly about each other, or try to have them pick sides. If this is the case and it can be proved then the judge isn't going to take his undisclosing easy, and will not believe a word he says giving you a upper hand. If this is the case, you could make out a lot better, and I think you would be deserving of whatever the judgment is. I am sorry to hear that it could not be worked out, but it sometimes for the better. I myself have ben through one many years ago. I hate to see it happen and specially if there are kidz, but it happens. I will keep you in my prayers, and ask God to give you wisdom,and guidance. Good Luck God Bless!

Yes he can get in trouble, but at this point the chances are very slim at best. He can say he forgot or don't understand the instructions, or some other excuse and the court will give him the benefit of the doubt. However, you need to give this information to your lawyer so that he can get the accurate information. If he keeps repeating the pattern of withholding information then he can definitely get in trouble, but all of this can be handled by your lawyer - keep him informed of everything.

I would think a good lawyer would be able to get the information, because i am sure the courts want his w-2 and tax info for the year. Now if at court lying to the courts is a crime...just ask barry bonds

Not really a he can simply say it was an oversight on his part, a simple mistake. Let your attorney know and be able to prove it so your attorney can callenge it and see if hes lying any where else on the papers. The courts dont want to make any divorce any worse than it already is

Sleasly bastard. He can definitely get into trouble for witholding information. You need to inform your attorney that you know more information that is not included. Why aren't you asking for alimony? If he's trying to cheat you, why are you being so kind?
