Legal Question in Family Law in California

Hello.. Concerning future income earned after getting a divorce... I divorced in January 2010.. After the divorce, ex wife asked for temporary spouse support. The judge said no because we were still living together. So, she moved out the end of January; and filed the papers for temporary spouse support. Had the court hearing in March 2010. The judge granted her temporary spouse support. the question I have is " The support amount was based on my income at that time; which was the income when we were married... I am now single.. Can I get a job without having to report this future income when " I go back to ask for a modification of spouse support" ?? ... I made another court date for modification of spouse support, seek work, impute income and a gavron warning... Only because she has two skills and job history to work. I filed the correct forms including her resume, average annual income for each skill. Her school certificate. And, a long list of job openings in California for each skill. The judge did make it clear to her at the March hearing that this was a temporary thing for spouse support. Can I work without having to report this on a new income statement for my court hearing on 1 July 2010 ??

No. You must always report current income when seeking support modifications. Otherwise you are committing a fraud on the court. NOT a good idea.
