You actually expect us to believe that you worked as a physician until your license got suspended and you have NO assets?.....and that you couldn't afford to pay your child support?

Under normal circumstance's your wife's property or accounts could not be frozen or attached for child support. However, if it can be demonstrated that you transferred assets into your wife's name in order to "hide" them....then that changes things.

I would recommend that you hire yourself an attorney and start negotiating.
