Why Would A Parent Lie About Income Or Expenses?
It is incredibly stressful when you are going through a divorce or separation. If you have children, the situation becomes much more complicated. One thing is certain – both child support and spousal maintenance may be a reality.
What Can Happen? When you and your spouse are going through the divorce process, the court will ask for all the information regarding your income. This information will be used to calculate how much will be made in child support payments (if there are children involved) and whether or not spousal maintenance payments (alimony) will be necessary.
First, it needs to be said that these lies are illegal. No party in a divorce or separation case can lie to the family court about their income or expenses and not expect punishment if they are caught. Never directly confront someone if you suspect they are lying about their income or expenses. You need to work through an attorney and the court systems. Chances are, you the situation is already emotionally charged for you. If you insert yourself into the situation directly, you may slow the process of getting the mistakes fixed.
