I'd be delighted to. So are you guys sure she can only take from my NET income and not my GROSS? Because child enforcement takes my current support order based upon my gross income and not net from my job...

Lol no, she's def not on welfare. she's just a money hungry scumbag with a vengence.

A 3-person dwelling or smaller is just a normal "house" according to mortgage and insurance companies.... its not like a 10-unit dwelling where everything has to be done aimed towards an apartment or multi-dwelling complex.

so are you saying that *legally* my ex can only collect off of the net income? Because typically child-support goes by gross...

Well if I dont submit rental income on tax returns, say I'm only renting to 1-2 people in a unit I live in... I think the IRS would be hard-pressed to realize I'm making any additional money worth taxing?

So in other words, theres no way the state can really prove if I'm receiving rental income or not... and neither can child support.

I've tried showing the court my kid shouldn't be living there, I've shown them pictures of their garage that was being supported by a 1980's van thats been abandoned for years, pictures of the concrete stairs that are falling apart and my kid falls on them all the time, the house is drafty because there's no siding etc... they all live like scumbags. She has a good job, she just doesnt do anything with the money or its mismanaged anyhow. I digress; welcome to NY where the law doesn't care because I'm the father and I MUST be a dirtbag.

Great replies in here so far guys, appreciate it. Thanks for the ideas.

Well I took your guys advice and spoke w/ my CPA on this, and he said that he knows all this good stuff and is willing to work with me on it... so thats one less thing I need to deal with. Just have to make sure I keep all receipts.

Yes exactly. Support's already been thru court and I've been paying in a timely fashion ever since. I'm just wondering if somehow she can go after my rental income or even find out I'm making it.

While I do appreciate your help on this, I'd rather not get into why I dont feel I need to pay top dollar to an ex that lives with her mom, dad and two sisters and doesn't do anything with her life productive other than drink and live in the ghetto, makes my son wear the same underwear for 3 days straight, avoids bathing, has a house with a floor made out wood and old worn out rug from the 80's etc. I've been paying what I owe and am well versed in the laws on what happens if you dont, but thank you for your concern.

Maybe a stupid question... but how will the state know I've been collecting income?
