false information under oath

[greenpea]

What is the name of your state?NY
I went to court to have my ex pay for child support. under oath he told the judge that he was currently not working and was laid off. we had a temporary order for him to pay 600 a month. (we have another hearing in January for the judgement). a few days later i get a paper from the court with the temporary judgement and see that he has listed his current employer as being the company that laid him off. is this legal to give false information under oath. also i think i have to go back to court to fight for custody...can i do a search on his banking and background information on line? like if he has other children and so forth.

He may not have lied in court, if his employment info was on any papers that were filed BEFORE he was laid off, the info could still end up on the order. This kind of thing happened with my husband's order, his ex's address had changed after the papers were filed, so her old address still ended up on the order. You should check it out, just to make sure.

I don't believe that you can get any of his banking info on line, you'd have to subpoena that from him. However, there are some websites that will do background checks, but they are rather pricey. Most of the info that you're asking about can be obtained through subpoenas and interrogatories.

Have you tried contacting his former employer to see if he is still employed there? It's worth a try, the worst they could do is refuse to tell you. Good luck.

Are you doing this with or without a lawyer? Was this the first time going to court or has it been going on longer? I too am in NY and the NCP has been stalling pretty much with info not up to date as well. It'll be more than a year when we go to court for the final judgement.

Just an FYI, there's no such thing as "final" in the legal community!!!

Yes, but you won't be able to obtain banking information. There's only so much information you can obtain -- especially now with privacy laws.

right now, you're accusing him of lying. You need to prove that and fishing for this stuff isn't going to prove what you're looking for.

I dont have a lawyer but I have been getting advice from one. This is not the frist time going to court. They gave me a court date for January because i requested that month...for some reason they wanted to give me a date sooner but it was during the christmas break. I am not sure why it would take one year to make the final judgement. does this mean that when we go to court in january we have to wait a year to hear the results of the judment????

You are right about that...the court told me that it could have been on some sort of file before the hearing...but i dont even know his employers info to put down in the frist filing...it is kind of sad when you have to involve the courts just to get a basic thing done. I have to go back to court to get the information that i need...and yes I will call his employer.

You are very lucky to have been able to request the month. My next court date is 5 days before Christmas. I was very happy about that because he will have to find the money to come up here as well as find the money for his lawyer. My girlfriend as well pretty much took a year before the final judgement was made. (when i say final judgement i mean they will be able to give you the set amount and then on top of that go back to the day you filed and do retro). I've gone every 3 months. You can email if you'd like about what's been going on my case and see if anything similar is occuring since we are in the same state. And as far as the year with the end result of the judgment it will be a year for me and it was a year for my girlfriend (with lawyers).
