My question involves child support in the State of: Texas. NCP has 20+ yr history of a management position, same industry. Jan 2015 took a lesser position after relocating back to Texas where children live. Within months filed for a child support modification that reduces his monthly support by 50%.
I've talked to two attorneys that have suggested to me that proving he's working below his wages will be very difficult, if not impossible, in the AG's court. That the AG's court will only review most recent pay stubs. Additionally, that he'll be given grace for relocating to be back in the state with the children. The AGs office is overburdened with cases, not interested in spending a lot of time on mine trying to ascertain fairness.
I've tried to informally request Discovery from him, he knows he can refuse. That makes it difficult to prepare for the court date. It's hard to invest in an attorney, when they are honest about my chances of not allowing the reduction.
Fact is, he quit a job that his support was based on to move to another state to be with a love interest. He procurred a job there making slightly higher than support was based on. Only saw our children twice in almost two years. Fired from that job, broken up with girlfriend, he relocated back to Texas.
Any advice on compelling him to cooperate on the Discovery I asked for? How I can make a better case in the AG's court to present this year as working below his paygrade intentionally, and not lack of opportunity?
