Long story short...
My ex wife has custody of the kids. My oldest son is 18 and just graduated from high school. I petitioned the court to lower my child support. My ex filed a motion to stay the reduction and it was granted pending a decision on whether or not I am to pay for his college expenses. Part of the process...My attorney filed a discovery order requesting various things including my son's tax returns, bank records, and pay stubs. My ex wife just called me wanting me to withdraw the discovery request because my son has been working under the table, can not produce any of the documents, nor has he filed a tax return. I have no idea how much he has actually earned. He has been "employed" for a year beginning when he was 17. He has been living with her the whole time.
I guess my question is this...any ideas on how this will affect things like child support, alimony and such? Can this actually have any real leverage? I am waiting to hear back from my attorney, so I already have that ball rolling.
