I have sole custody of our daughter and for the last year have been trying to get proper support payments from my ex/her father. He showed me his paystubs after much of my nagging and I discovered that he made $57K a year. He is currently paying me support based on 30K a year. When I showed him the Federal Guideline amount and the number he is supposed to be paying he refused, snatched his paystubs away and wouldn't provide me copies.
I have no proof that he makes what I saw with my own two eyes. I have gone to court, attended an uncontested trial. He is currently in default. He has not shown up.
4 Weeks ago I filed a Basket Motion which allows me to bypass court proceedings with him now since he is in default and uncontested and sends my motion right up stairs and puts it in the hands of a judge. I signed an affidavit telling judge that he wont provide me with stubs but that he showed me and I know he makes this much a year. Judge has responded today and in a nutshelll said "I need proof of income, this affidavit is not enough" yet he won't order my ex to provide proof of income!
So here I am, unable to get him to prove his income or provide me with last years tax return. I don't know what to do. I am self representing, I make too much to get legal aid but not enough to afford a lawyer right now.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can do next? Can I file some sort of motion to get him in court? I am totally lost and totally frustrated.
