From: mune19642003 on 1 Dec 2005 17:12 My divorce went thru this Feb 2005. Separation since August 2004, Settlement Agrrement signed in Dec2004. My ex-wife had started claiming unemployment since earlier that year. Now per the settlement I am paying her Alimony and Child support of nearly half the amount of my take home pay. Paid all arrears since separation Aug 2004 till date. Now the issue is she is working and always has been working (!) with some cash only commission only etc deals I guess , since I know that she is working or is busy fulltime doing Event Management , TV shows , MEdia Sales etc . But all of these are with some of her friend's companies mainly Indian entrepreneurs or businesses. She is Indian too. Of late she is also selling real estate in India to the non resident indians here , getting commission. But these incomes are all UNDECLARED I would guess. I am thinking of hiring a lawyer and asking for investigation or whatever it entails , but just checking here if anyone has any ideas comments on such an issue ??
From: NewMan on 1 Dec 2005 17:24 Well, if there is undeclared income, then chances are the IRS would be interested??? Why not call 1-800-RAT-FINK and let the IRS do the dirty work for you? The beauty of this is she cannot come back and ask for more money because if she does you can ask "why?". Once they have finished with her, then you can take her to court, have the court obtain copies of the records from the IRS. Since the IRS records will show she LIED about her income, this should blow her cerdibility out of the water with the court. Then you can apply to to court for a modification of the child support based on the facts entered in evidence. The court loves cold hard facts. This might help get the monkey of your back a little. Just a thought.

If she's hiding money from the IRS she will be in much greater trouble than hiding it from you. ==== >

She is Indian too. She must be paying income tax on her earnings else she's in violation of the law. Additionally, there are checks being written and deposited in to an account for the transactions. Both the tax returns and the bank account statements can be subpoenaed for evidence. I would advise getting an attorney to do the job though. b.

At first they refused to send salary records but complied after I sent them statutory reference that if the "keeper of the record" failed to release said record, the keeper can be held responsible for all costs the requester incurs to get the record. She was state employed which is different with public disclosure, however, the parties in a case, can file subpoenas and requests for documents from the other party. Judges don't look kindly on parties who refuse to turn over documents critical to the case. The judge in my husband's case was quite upset with his ex for dragging her feet on the production of documents. === |
