Temp custody and support were waived by me when we eventually got to the hearing, as my atty felt it was better to avoid a temp judgment that might stick. About that time, STBX offered $290 a month in CS for two children, which I declined. He stated his "mom had cut him off" and that this was an accurate amount based on his income.
So the trial is coming up and the case is focused on relocation at this point. I have undergone a parenting assessment and observation by a forensic psychologist, and he has also reviewed my relocation plan and weighed it based on the AAML criteria. Everything looks good so far and this expert witness will most likely testify at the trial.
There is new information on my STBX's financial situation per discovery. I am wondering what this means?
Bank statements show that over the course of the latter half of the marriage he deposited checks he received from his mom, and then withdrew appx. the same amount in cash each time over the next several days, in amounts varying from $500-$3000.
A cursory glance shows that unless he can come up with a very expensive hobby or drug habit, he probably had $20K or so in cash at the point when I left.
He declared almost no cash on his asset/debt statement which was done not long after I filed/left.
It has also been determined that he has gotten and will continue to get $24K a year in income property proceeds, almost all of which was omitted in his income/expense statement and not factored in to his CS offer.
Do these sorts of misstatements generally hurt a case? What does all this mean?
