What is the name of your state? GA
I am NCP father of 2 kids. I am not happy with their mom. I have learned my ex has been taping our phone calls (legal, I understand). This worries me b/c I have said things about refusing to pay for the uncovered medical expenses (our papers say 50/50 split)and I have made some threats to her job (I have pull with the employer) to try to get her to cooperate more. I don't want her using CSE b/c they are garnishing me saying I am behind (they get the support for the month either at the very end, or the 1st couple days of the next month.
I got her to agree to child support as a dollar amount only based on my regular salary only, and any additional money I make would be paid at the states percentage for 2 kids (25%) based on what on that additional income winds up being. She agreed to do it this way so that on months I don't make as much, I can pay accordingly. If the support had been calculated using all my income at the time, the monthly dollar amount for child support would be higher.
I am worried because I have refused to pay the additional support that is not spelled in actual dollars in the papers. I think she would have to prove that income and take me to court to get it, and maybe not get it at all, but she might have recorded phone calls . I also remember telling her that I would hide royalty income by having it go to a 3rd party and that I arranged with my new job for my boss to pay me where she could not get her hands on certain types of my pay (like travel, vehicle allowance, per diem) for child support. Now I fear she has all this recorded.
I have challenged her to take me to court. But now I am worried b/c I remember telling her that I don't care what the papers say, I care what is fair. I do think I am being fair. I think she gets too much money. I know Georgia law is changing and if support is being calculated based on the new regulations, she'd never get that extra percentage amount.
1) Should I hold out until laws change in July and not pay her the extra, gambling that she might have trouble proving my income and then she'll never get it because the laws changed?
2) How can my phone calls to her that were recorded possibly be used against me?
I regret making those comments now, but can't change the facts. I wouldn't have said that stuff if I knew that she was taping.
How likely is it she can enforce the agreement on child support that is extra?I don't think it can be. Would she have to take me to court to do it? I dont think she deserves it.She gets enough from me anyway.
Thanks for your time .
