I currently receive spousal support and child support. The final court order laid out a payment order. This was January 2011. As of Jan 2012, he was still over 15 thousand dollars in arrears. I had minimal income. Had to beg and borrow to make ends meet. As of last year, he got a job and has paid it all off, and is now caught up and paying as ordered.
My question is: Am I going to get nailed for income tax now? It is going to show I had a pile of money, all in one year. I am still behind with loans personal and other after having to borrow for the year he didn't pay anything.
He is now trying to reduce my support after only being caught up for a year. The year before, when he was ordered to pay, he didn't. I need to know how to be able to prepare my financial documents as I am now being asked to have my support assessed as to my income etc. I don't make much currently with my job, but I have made a little more due to having training and upgrading so I may support myself. I just feel that considering I have only had a short period of time where I can rely on payment, I am going to get slammed…all at my expense. I don't have money for a lawyer, and he has retained a large, expensive firm to represent him for this assessment. Im a bit overwhelmed. can anyone advise me here? thanks
