Legwork I will do! Can he voluntarily reduce his income like this? There are significant assets as well, financial assets. I am considering hiring a financial accountant, as he is a wily varmint and I think assets have been shifted to hide other income. That is the only legwork I know to do. Like I said, I have no idea how to verify how his employment ended and he WILL lie. He lied to the courts for 3 years and got away with it. (and at the moment he is actually in violation of the original order on three matters - possibly a fourth, which reminds me ... In Texas, are you allowed to stop paying on the court order pending the modification?)
