What if my spouse does not report all of his income or is not earning as much as he/she could with regard to calculating child support and alimony?
Courts can “impute” income to a spouse. What that means is that if it is shown that they are capable of making more than they earn, the Court will calculate the child support or alimony as if they made the higher amount. Also, if the spouse is making money under the table or otherwise not reporting all income, it will be your burden to show that this is occurring.
