First time posting. 2 years ago(Jan 2018) I started proceedings against my ex-husband for not paying child support. My ex husband is very wealthy and is an IT Architect. He owns an IT Consulting company. For the 1st year he delayed everything and provided no disclosure. In March 2019 he retained his best friend's law practice to represent him. My lawyer requested disclosure again, at that time my ex stated that he works for a company making 30K as a skilled tradesman. Although my ex stated he worked there for over a year he was only able to show paystubs for 6 months. I knew what he was saying was a complete lie. I did some digging and found that the owner of the company was actually his buddy who also owns the law firm which represents him. In the limited financial disclosure provided another company was mentioned where my ex and his buddy lawyer are partners in. No financial disclosure was provided in relation for the company. A case conference was scheduled for September 2019. A week prior to the CC my ex decided to change lawyers. Coincidence, I don't think so. His new legal counsel has also been delaying the matter. I've spent over 30K in 2 years and have not even been to court. My concern is about the ethics of the first lawyer and what I should do and if what they did was criminal. I believe they orchestrated a fake job and try to show the court he is poor. My ex owned 4 properties in the GTA, drives a 100K vehicle and tries to portray to the court with his lawyer friend that he only makes 30k. Since I started proceedings in 2018 my ex has liquidated 3 properties with no financial disclosure provided. In October 2019 he sold a property where his current lawyer holds over 130K in trust and that hasn't even been disclosed either. I am at my wits end with lawyers and this process. ANY ADVICE?
