Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Negative Cash Flow on Corporate Business

This is a tough one. I believe that to convince a judge that your ex is creating a fiction, you are going to need an expert accountant to evaluate the practice. This is not something that the average person can analyze or disect. For instance, what if your ex actually needs an employee, and he would pay another person the same or similar amount of money? Another questions is what expenses are typical to run the practice and generate income? How are the books being kept? Is cash being handled the same as other forms of payment. To get to the answer is going to require an effort. To produce the effort it is going to require an expenditure of money. You have to weigh the costs and benefits of this pursuit. This is a personal/business decision. SHould you have any more questions, please call my office.

Re: Negative Cash Flow on Corporate Business

The prior attorney's response is right on the money. Just to add a little further thought, the fact that he bought a $575,000 home recently (of course, try to bring some proof of this)will raise red flags with the judge because that is a significant purchase and yet, he cannot pay child support? You should go to the registry of deeds Northern/Southern Registry of Deeds and get a copy of it for your proof. You can usually pull that information up online, but it may be more official if you get copies from the registry of deeds and certified.

You may want to consider consulting with a family law attorney. Good luck! Maria Murber
