Ok, I need a little help here.
My ex pays me $360.00 a month in child support. He is supposedly "not" working but I know better. His family owns a construction company and I know he has been working for them. I even have a couple of texts on my phone with him saying he had to work and couldn't pick up our son until 6 insead of 5. I have told FOC that I know he's working and they have even asked him if he is. He flat out lies to them! He makes a lot of money working construction and right now he's claiming un-employment. I am barely scraping buy having to pay daycare, rent, bills, groceries, etc all the while he is living RENT free in our house that is now in foreclosure. It looks like he's going to be able to stay in that house at least until late fall. I'm wondering, how do I prove he's working when he's getting paid under the table? Has anyone ever had to deal with this? Any advice would be great!! Thanks:)

You need to hire a private party (investigator) to take pictures of him working and document everything. I know someone who is going through this right now. Then you confront him with the evidence. Because what he is doing will land his a55 in jail for a very, very long time. I would do a little homework and see what the penalties are for lying to the government about your employment and lying to the court and see if he really doesn't want to agree to pay more in lieu of prison.

Those text messages the he sends stating that he is working is admissable in court. Along with pictures showing him working. With both, you have a good chance of the court listening. And imputing income to him.
But that doesn't mean he will pay the additional amount that he is ordered to.

I read a story this year. The story was basically the grandfather was lying on behalf of the son as to employment. Basically same granddad employed dad paid peanuts, but under the table paid dad. Guess what granddad was the one having to pay large sum for covering. They went after him bc bigger pockets he owned the company. Key though is did he lie in court? Get him up there to lie

Unfortunately this IS MI you are dealing with...they probably won't do anything.
I'd try to get more $$ out of him on your own by telling him you'll take the evidence to court.
Sorry that I'm a little jaded when it comes to MI courts doing anything to help or caring that he's lying. My ex lied to the courts stating that he was under the age of 18 and still in high school so he didn't have to pay child support. He was a high school drop out but the issue really was that his age was stated as 17. I asked them "don't you even check drivers licenses or birth certificates cause he's not a minor?" They didn't care and told me I had to wait 2 years to review it. 2 years that I didn't get ANY support at all.
