What Does a Court Do With Banking Information Provided for Child Support

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: New York.

What does the court do with the banking information you provide? do they actually contact these instituions to see if you are telling the truth about your finances?

The courts do nothing with the information you provide but they do trust that the information is accurate and sworn to. If you lie, you could be subject to perjury charges or held in contempt of court.

It is your adversary that will use that information to make their case and perhaps use it to verify your assets or income in a support case and/or to collect an any judgment they get . But the court doesn't call the institutions.

Are you speaking about a case management statement to determine child support?

no. we already have an order. her petition says that she wants an increase. i have been working off the books so the courts only know what i tell them as far as the money i make. simple greed because i pay the support plus buy all of his clothes and pay for his school lunches which is basically his expenses outside of the house at his age.

And it is not greed on your part to hide income from the court? Actually even if what she is doing is greedy, which it is not, what you are doing is fraudulent and illegal.

So her asking the child support be based on your actual income is greed? Dude, you have some serious issues.

But anyway, if she states you are working under the table, she can seek an examination of your finances. As part of that, yes, they can review your banking records as well as your payments to whomever. If the payouts are greater than your claimed income will support, you'll have a pissed off judge or if deposits into your account can't be explained by your claimed income you will have to show where you got that money from.

That can lead to problems with your child support but obviously you are committing tax fraud as well.

Good luck in the new year.

It's greed that the court wants to know what you are making so you provide your fair share? Um no. "Expenses outside of his house?" What's that?

First of all, i have NO ISSUES. I pay child support, buy all of his clothes & take care of all of his school activities. thats the BULK of his lifestyle right now. so yes, this is 100% greed because the only thing that is her issue is the cash IN HER HAND....NOT whether or not our son is being taken care of. i dont buy that b.s. that she puts a roof over his head, provides water, heat, & electricity. so she wouldnt have a roof over her head, heat, electricity, & water if my son wasnt there???

child support laws need to be addressed. I DO CHILD SUPPORT....NOT HELPING HER LIFESTYLE SUPPORT. we were never married. regardless, just because she has a support order doesnt mean she is free from any financial responsibility. i tried to get full custody, they went against me. she wants full custody, then she has to spend some $ as well. its part of being a 'parent'. thank you for your advice

what did i say i was doing illegal? please tell me. i merely asked a question & said i work off the books.

let me address you as well....i do ABOVE & BEYOND my 'fair' share. 'child support order' means nothin to me. i do what i want for him because thats my job & i dont need a court to tell me to provide. i dont play games.....he says he needs or wants somethin, i get it. i could be a jerk & just pay what im ordered & put it on her to get what he wants & needs.

this is about someone who wants to do as little as possible. my job is to provide for my son. when the courts get smart and start to require more detail in regards to where child support goes once it's paid....making sure a % goes to an bank account for him etc, then i will have no problem. women are out here taking child support payments and putting it toward nail appointments, their wardrobe and hairstyles. this is not my ex-wife. i owe her nothing for her lifestyle.

and like i said above, just because there is a court order in place for support doesnt relieve her of any and all financial responsibility. she is a parent as well and she has job to provide also.

You're an idiot. Child support is paying what you WOULD pay if you were still with the mother. It's not "bs" that she is providing all those things for him. You are supposed to provide YOUR contribution of those things. Just like you would if you two were still a couple. Why the **** don't non custodial parents get that is what it's for? I know there are some custodial parents who use child support for their own personal uses but that's not the majority of us.

How is she free from any financial responsibility because you pay child support? I guarantee your contribution isn't even half of what she provides for your child. Do you know what my ex is supposed to pay a month just for our daughter? $86 a month. Do I get it? **** no. For all four kids he's supposed to pay like $330. He has barely paid any the several years for all of them because he rarely works and when he does it's a temp job so they can't even take the minimum out! And he's 12000 in arrears. AND he doesn't pay half of medical or daycare for any of his kids.

Paying for his clothes, his school lunches and your mandated support isn't even close to what she probably has to pay for all together to make sure that kid is taken care of you. You're a selfish prick and that's the bottomline.

What do you mean when the court requires to show where the child support goes? They don't do that because it goes to supporting the child. Supporting the child means rent, utilities, food, and so on. No women are not out there "putting it toward nail appointments, their wardrobe and hairstyles" you prick. MOST custodial parents do NOT get ANYTHING!! Most of us don't get shit.

It doesn't matter if you were married or not. YOU chose to have a child with her. YOU have to HELP SUPPORT THAT CHILD!! I hope the court finds out about your "under the table" shenanigans. I hope your ex gets an increase in child support too.

SO if you were getting child support from her and you found out she was making more money "under the table" I bet you would report it in a second. You're disgusting.

a woman....lol....should've known. i dont have to stoop down to your level with name calling.

BELIEVE U ME.....she doesnt pay NEARLY as much as i do first of all. and 2nd of all, when she shows me a SEPARATE utility bill just for him, then i'll shut up. AND YES...it is b.s. that u tell me he has utilities. AGAIN....u only have heat, lights, & water because he lives there??? i doubt it!

my son is 6 and has mutual funds, a 529 account and 5 figures in the bank FROM ME! and like i said, i pay for almost everything he needs. I'M A FATHER...NOT A SPERM DONOR/PART TIME PARENT. i live 700 miles away from my son and still see him more than once a month whether i get there by train, car, or bus. and i'm involved in his school activities.

and on top of all of that 'miss know it all'.....i have given her extra money so YES...IT IS GREED. i am that needle in a haystack when it comes to a father on child support.

she is irrelevant to me....if she got money under the table and did nothing extra to help, then karma will visit her and thats that. karma will never come for me because I'M SELF-LESS so i'm blessed. i was homeless and still providing for my son at one time. HE...has always come first and will always come first. i have to pay....so does she. PERIOD.

I'm sure you're emotional right now, to have your intentions checked by someone on the web, but speaking this way to the seniors will get you nowhere in terms of advice.

Some of the answers you get here may not be as objective as you'd like but what do you expect? Some speculation will happen and you just gotta roll with it, or don't respond.

As far as I understand it family courts are about equity, so simply because you make more doesn't necessarily mean she'll get more. If she requests it, then you object to it, have your day in court
