And how do I properly politely? state? that the respondent successfully got away with under? the table hidden income as they are going all to the girlfriends bank account. who is unemployed by yet the respondent has all this money for car down payments for multiple monthly car payments, mortgage payments, town payments for properties How is he able to do all of that vacations, dining out if the girlfriend is unemployed? and he's claiming not to make enough income. How is he able to cover all of that
You can present your concerns in a factual, respectful manner. Here's a suggestion:
"Your Honor, the respondent appears to be diverting income to an account under his girlfriend's name, who is unemployed. This account is used for substantial expenses, including car and mortgage payments, suggesting hidden income. I respectfully request a thorough investigation into these financial activities."
Would you like assistance with anything else related to your case?
To be honest, in this case, a judge actually helped him evade his responsibilities of. retroactive'cause she never ordered him to pay retroactive child support from April *. *. never requested the girlfriend's records, even though the respondents bank records show all the money transfers to the girlfriend that.'s clearly hidden income going to her
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To address this issue, you can request the court to reconsider the evidence or file an appeal. Here are steps you can take:
- **File a Motion to Reconsider:** Request the judge to review the evidence again.
- **File an Appeal:** If you believe the judgment was unfair, consider appealing the decision.
