Can you cheat the court? Can you cheat on your child support ? Can you cheat to avoid paying spousal maintenance? My answer: you can try but it is doubtful and not worth it. The bigger question is why would you want to?
Here is what I have seen in my 18 years owning my family law firm and almost 38 years as an attorney. One father objected to the child care choice by mom and so he could argue that he didn’t have to help pay for it since he didn’t agree to her choice. Child support doesn’t work that way. One husband quit his job after his wife was awarded spousal maintenance and then he files to modify the maintenance because he had no job. This didn’t work either because it is simply not allowed…earning potential then became the issue. The court can’t make you work but it can make you pay. A wife remarried in secret so her spousal maintenance would continue. This didn’t work either. Once former husband learned of the marriage, she owed him back support money plus interest plus attorney fees. All of this became a non dischargeable debt and she has to pay it back.
Bottom line; don’t cheat and don’t steal. And if you have been the victim of theft or cheating, we can help you.
