What do you do when the ex wants you to support them, along with the children, and they ask for the money in the form of child supprt?
My fiance's ex has motioned for a raise in child support, claiming she can't afford to raise their daughter unless my fiance pays more. However, the ex has a good job that pays well and she brings home a bigger paycheck than my fiance. She can't afford things because she's paying mortgage on the house they used to share but has neglected to rent out the lower appartment. In other words, she'd rather make my fiance pay more in child support than get off her lazy butt and rent out the lower half of her house, which would bring in an extra $600-$800 a month.
It's a perfectly good appartment and is in decent shape, there is no reason for it to be vacant. She's even had offers but she never returned the calls.
How can we prove in court that the ex is willfully not renting out the appartment?
Will the courts see that she is just playing games?
