How do you prove someone is working under the table?
I live in PA, this person lives in Arizona. He is a DEADBEAT parent and refuses to sign his rights over. He has 2 other children too and he doesn't support them either. Both of us know that he is working under the table with his stepfather. His mother and stepfather both lie to protect him. I'm not about the money, but he doesn't even have a minute to call my son. Didn't call on his birthday, nothing at all! I want to catch him in this lie. Is there any way to find out without hiring a private investigator? Also, do you know of any Private I's in Yuma, Arizona?
Answers:
You prove it by showing that he actually has assets or income or makes purchases while still being considered unemployed. For example if he has a car or house in his name, if he has money in a bank account. If he takes extravagant vacations, owns boats or jewelry.
Basically you just prove that he can't explain how his expenses are far more than his income. That is also how you prove tax evasion because it is the same concept.
you go to the court that awarded you support and they will jerk you around for months but if they ever do look into it all they have to do is audit him, expenses vs. income there are a million ways to prove it, you just have to have access to the documents you need and a DA or court can do that. it's just by the time they get to it you child my be collecting social security!!
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL FIND OUT. LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. WHY THE VINDICTIVENESS. IF HE IS IN ARI. AND YOU IN PA. WHY NOT JUST LET THE CREEP GO AND LIVE YOUR LIFE. HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO YOU OR YOUR KIDS AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY THAT YOU WILL EXPEND ON THIS TO DO WHAT. THE END RESULT WILL BE THE SAME. EVEN IF YOU PROVE THAT HE IS WORKING WHAT WILL THAT ACCOMPLISH. YOU CAN'T FORCE HIM TO PAY THE SUPPORT ALL HE WILL DO IS HIDE AGAIN. SOMETHINGS ARE BETTER LEFT ALONE. I KNOW THAT YOUR ANGRY AT HIM BUT YOU CAN OPEN A CAN OF WORMS BY MAKING HIM CONFORM YOU MAY GET STUCK WITH A DISGRUNTLE FATHER THAT WILL NOW GO FOR VISITATION. HOW WILL THAT HELP YOU.
LEAVE IT IN THE HANDS OF GOD THE DUDE IS A BUM AND THEIR IS VERY LITTLE THAT YOU CAN DO. GOOD LUCK.
I had a similar situation. I went to a free first time meeting with a lawyer and he told me that we could audit his parents' business and personal accounts and any car payments, ins., etc. would be considered his income. I never hired him though because I needed all my money to support me and my daughter. I ended up marrying a wonderful guy and never needed the losers money in the end.(Thank goodness)
Long and short of it is that his mom and step-dad have him on the books as a minimum wage employee and there's nothing you can do about it. If he is totally working under the table, then when you file for child support review, he is supposed to provide his financial records and very few judges will believe that he has zero income, unless he is homeless, has no vehicle and no bills in his name anywhere.
Now for the common sense approach, if he signs over his rights, you get no support, and you don't have to allow him to see his son. The way it seems now, you get no support and he makes no effort to even contact his son on special occasions, much less try to be a dad ... I don't really see a big difference here.
