My husband pays child support based on an annual salary of the job he just lost. (We were in court one week after he obtained this position, and the judge set child support based on the salary he was offered at this new job, as it was $3,000/annum greater than his 2008 total income, despite him having just been hired and being on probation.)
Out of courtesy, he notifed the child support recipient that an adjustment in child support would be required, as he has just lost his job and is looking for new employment. The recipient demanded proof, so out of courtesy and in an effort to act amicably, my husband sent her a copy of his letter of termination.
The recipient is now demanding the ORIGINAL letter of termination as well as the ORIGINAL record of employment.
What is my husband LEGALLY required to provide in such a situation? If anything at all? We are trying to play nice in an effort to not have to return to court for a re-adjustment. We are hoping to determine a new amount fairly with the recipient. Any advice?
[To add, the recipient is also demanding child support to be based on our combined household income (Ha!) and detailed records of his job search. Does she have any right to that?]
