Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

I was recently promoted and will receive an increased salary. Since I pay child support to my ex-wife am I legally obligated to inform her or the court of my increased income?

I assume that would automatically result in a child support modification and an increase in my payments.

Question:

Are the factors below enough to qualify me for a child support modification?

I pay child support and for my child's after school care, though that payment is not mandated by the court.

However, I have learned that I am paying for my child's after school care so that my ex-wife can work a significant amount of overtime resulting in a much higher income than she reported.

Could I get a modification of child support based on her previously unreported overtime pay and the fact that I'm paying for child care costs that the court does not know about?

Question:

I have a question about finances and divorce. My wife has demanded the amount of income my girlfriend makes as part of the financial disclosure statements she has provided me during our divorce.

I will not be able to get my girlfriend to volunteer that information or any other personal information, especially since I don't see how it's relevant to the case between my wife and I.

What are the consequences from not disclosing this information and who can she hold responsible?

It’s unlikely you can deduct your divorce attorney fees. However, some of the costs you incur as a result of your divorce may be deductible.

If you plan to itemize your deductions and your total miscellaneous deductions exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income, then you can deduct three types of fees.

Question:

Because of my financial situation I have to had to move in with my parents. They cover some of my expenses so does the court count their contributions to my living costs as income for purposes of child support?

Also, my ex's divorce lawyer is claiming that I get paid much more than what I'm getting paid now just because I work in a cash business environment. How do I present to the court that my only source of income is my paycheck?
