[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In over 10 years, I have never been able to prove my ex’s hidden income from his mother. She switched from checks to cash. I came close to proving he split expenses with a secret housemate, but the person moved out. I did prove he was renting out his basement using a Craigslist ad, but I couldn’t prove he actually received that amount.

At this point, I no longer care. I see it as a moral issue. God will catch up with him. [/quote]

None of those things would have affected child support. His mother can give him money, but to the taxable allowed amount a year, and it’s not considered income but a gift. Splitting expenses is also not a form of income. It’s how you allocate your money after you earn income. A person is allowed to allocate their resources as they see fit. Renting the apartment is the closest that would come to qualifying as income, but I have a rental unit and only the profit (not the rental amount) would be counted as income. For a shared home, once you deduct expenses, the share of split repairs, and depreciation, there would be very little taxable income on paper. It’s one of the great things about rental income in the tax code. [/quote]

Actually PP, courts don't use the IRS code to determine income beyond using W2. Regular, monetary gifts, can be used in the calculation of income for the purposes of child support. Which means that PP would have received a percentage of that money as child support.

And rental income would also be added to income - courts don't care about depreciation and stuff like that - that only limits your tax burden, not your child support burden.

NP here and obv this varies by state but rental income is subject to deductions for reasonable business expenses (repairs, HOA dues, etc.).  It's not calculated purely off gross.  [/quote]
