My question involves child support in the State of: New York
In February of this year, my income came down 25%. I explained to my ex that I had to take this other job in order to continue employed and keep providing. She agreed to this verbally but then discussed it with her attorney who advised her to put a clause in the modification document (which we are preparing and signing ourselves) to have the modification revised in January of 2013 once I prove my income with my paystubs that my salary is what it is.
My question is: Are they (attorney and ex) trying to create a precedent to have my salary reviewed every year and adjust accordingly? Is this legal or is there a limit to the number of years that this modifications can be requested by the custodial parent?
Also, is it legal for her to request my paystubs whenever she wishes? There's an element of control and dignity (mine) that bothers me about this.
