Depends.....
What does you state require for proof of income? We were required to submit recent pay stubs and 3 years worth of tax papers. I think it depends on the judge you get as well.
Is there a valid reason for the reduction? Does it reduce down every year after 2002, or just do a sudden drop right before you go to court? You might be able to show they have a higher earning potential then what can be established on paper. Especially if the reduction is voluntary.
This is for an increase I requested.
Ex, since about a month after I filed for divorce in 2002, had quit his job to work under the table. He was earning about $20.00 an hour then. I have those tax forms from that year.
I don't even know if he is being paid on the books now, but at a conciliation for custody, he did say he works 40 hrs. per week, but when asked for pay stubs or tax forms, had none.
The only valid reason he has is to "screw" our son and I.
He was a no show at the CS hearing, and it is now continued in 2 months.
I did discuss alot while we waited for him to show, but nothing could be done due to no way of knowing income or even where he works.
I was hoping these tax forms can either prove his income potential if he is barely claiming what he actually makes , or, if he is a no show again, they can decide CS without him based on the taxes.
It says we only need to bring 1 year taxes and 6 weeks pay stubs.
