My ex has been very difficult to deal with in regards to financial disclosure. Being self-employed he grossed around 110,000 a year (this is on paper as payed out by a business) but wrote off inflated expenses which left him living on a mere net of 15,000 a year if that. When ordered to provide receipts etc to support his claims, he dropped off 3 banker's boxes of unorganized paperwork at my former lawyer's office the day before the deadline. Do judges look at the gross income in cases like this? I am now representing myself due to not having $10,000 retainer fees to get me through the trial dated Nov 30th. He is trying very hard to get spousal support from me and child support for two children that he only has seen EOW since 2006, and hasn't seen them since May. Over the past 4 years my income has gone up while he is claming his has gone down by all these deductions just to support his case against me. He also does his own books coincidentally.
Frustrating.
