Hi all,
I hope someone here can give some advice. My ex and I separated 2 years ago and have been divorced for one. We have shared custody, access, guardianship, and shared primary residencies of our two children (both over 11 years old) as specified in our Supreme Court Order. To date, no CS has been paid by either of us. Our court order specifies that we are to exchange our tax returns this month for the purposes of calculating child support. These last 2 years my ex has been working under the table and making a substantial income (new car, new computers, trips abroad, etc). I have always been honest with my income. I made $30,000 last year as I was unemployed for most of it. In the past my ex has declared income as zero and I expect the same amount will be declared for last year. In the order it says that a minimum of $15,000 will be attributed to my ex as income. Now, what happens when we exchange tax returns and my ex hasn't disclosed the true income? Will I have to pay CS? If I do, I worry I will be unable to provide for my 2 children as I can barely survive on what I make now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
