Legal Question in Family Law in California
Imputation of income based on substantial financial gifts
My ex-wife has parents who have been contributing to the lifestyle to which she feels she deserves to the tune of about 3 grand a month since we divorced (before that not a red penny). This has gone on for three years now and gives her an unfair advantage in terms of legal fees, for example. My question is, can I have those gifts counted as part of her income for the purposes of support, etc?

You sure can. You would have to prove it; but that should not be too hard, especially if she is living way above a standard she should be.

Yes, you should try to prove that she is receiving this additional money. You have a very good argument assuming that you can prove it.
Feel Free to contact me if you would like to pursue this matter.
Good Luck!

It's worth a shot. Keep in mind that she may show up and claim they are no longer going to give her any money, but if I was you, I would subpoena her bank statements showing the deposits to her account.
