My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas
Going through a divorce from a common-law marriage. The original date is in dispute, however tax records will most likely show that it is over 10 years, about 11 actually. The stb-ex filed for disability back around 2009 because she no longer wanted to work, but still get some type of income. This was against my wishes. I have contested this with her since then. I have never had access to any of the disability money she receives and never benefited from it. We kept separate accounts after she started receiving the disability income with a joint account for transferring money between us (mainly me to her). The entire time she ha been receiving this, she has been volunteering at the school on an almost daily basis for several hours per day, enough for a part time job for sure. To me, this is disability fraud, however she believes she is entitled to this, not for her disability, but just because. In our initial custody case, the judge asked her why she didn't work and she told him she did not want to loose her disability income.
She is trying to use her disability income as a reason for spousal support. My attorney thinks it is better to let her keep the disability because it will reduce the amount I am required to pay her. I think that if she didn't have it, I would not be required to pay anything at all and would like to turn her in for fraud. I also have several of my family members that would love to turn her in. I have asked them to refrain for now, however it is rather difficult to hold some of them back because of the way she has treated them in the past.
She is also trying to accuse me of infidelity to receive a disproportionate share of the community property and more spousal support. I never dated or slept with anyone until after our divorce was filed, however she claims to have proof of that. Anything she would have would be made or or just not exist.
Should I go ahead and turn her in, or at least allow her to be turned in, or should I wait.
