New here and looking for advice on what is likely to happen .
Legal separation 3 years ago with a written 50 page document that my ex doesn't follow anyways . The only thing that seems to matter to her is that I keep paying her child support . We used the offset method ( big mistake ) since we have joint and equal custody and 50/50 living arrangements.
I am trying to get it re-written so that we both show a payment to each other . We both work fulltime but I make about 25 % more than she does .
Over a year ago, ex moves in with boyfriend and rents her house out to a friend for cash . Fearing that I might blow the whistle on her, she regularly takes unpaid time off of work, so now, it doesn't look like her income went up that much .
I know that if she continued to work fulltime, with the extra rental income, we would both make the same amount so I wouldn't have to pay child support anymore . I still keep paying because I don't want to be labelled a deadbeat dad . I can't get her to give me tax returns or pay for Section 7 expenses or anything else . She refuses to go to arbitration. She thinks I will not spend a lot of money going to court to try to recoup any of it and quite frankly it seems like spend thousands to get hundreds . Doesn't make sense but is this something I will have to do anyways to try to break the cycle ?
I figure I can ask the courts to get her work to provide me with a list of days she took off unpaid which would prove her will full underemployment.
Or will they not do that ?
Or will it not matter ?
Does anyone here know what would be the likely outcome ?
Thank you for any assistance
