What is the name of your state? New York
I am now entering the discovery process regarding my upcoming child support trial for downward modification of support. (I've just hired an attorney but the agreement is that I'll be doing a lot of the groundwork to save money.) I strongly suspect that the child care costs are inflated by my ex and that she is not revealing all the sources of her income. So please help me with some insight on the following questions:
1. What are the things I should be looking for to make sure that my ex-wife does not hide any source of income so I am bombarded with enormous child support obligations? Does the tax return capture all income?
2. During this discovery, how to challenge the child care costs that she claims?
3. How to make the best of the discovery to make sure I get all the relevant information so I can gain leverage to eitheir arrive to a settlement out of court or success if there a trial?
