Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Ex-Wife Child Support

She is with her lawyer right now, and she is

coming for more child support. Her lawyer

said I need to fax him my 2007 W-2 and my

4 paystubs from this year. I thought they

could only look at my last W-2. Is this right?

No. Frankly if your wife's lawyer wanted to he or she could do extensive review of your finances. Practically if your income is consistent it likely doesn't matter how many W-2s you provide. If your income varies sometimes a court will average income. I'd be careful what I voluntarily disclose...in other words don't give him that last paystub where you worked a ton of overtime.
