How do I get a true answer to the amount of money my ex makes? He is self employed. This is for child support.
Answer:
You need his tax records for up to the last 7 years and maybe his bank statements as well. He could have a good year and a bad year, but by law he does have to retain a copy of the last 7. Plus, if he has a nice bank account, it shows that he can pay during the lean times as well.
Get the court to subpoena his tax records. And best of luck to you!
The easy way is to have the court require him to produce his tax returns. That is somewhat flawed in that some people lie on their tax returns. If you think that he actually makes a lot more than what he declares, consider a forensic accountant. Your lawyer can find one. These people have many roles, but one of them is deduce income from other factors. That is how they get drug dealers and mafiaso for tax evasion.
GOOD LUCK ALL YOU CAN DO IS SUBPOENA HIS LAST YEARS TAX RETURN FOR THE BUSINESS AND HIMSELF.
BUT IT WILL ONLY SHOW WHAT HE DECIDED TO REPORT. THE COURT CAN ONLY GO BY WHAT IS LEGALLY REPORTED TO THE IRS.
