We used a mediator to work out a separation agreement. Before filing we were asked to update our financial forms which requires to be submitted with a copy of W-2 to be submitted. It has taken over a years to get to this point and my stbx has decided to work less. Instead of getting paid $100k, her new income is about $60k which is what is used to calculate child support payment. Does anyone know if I should be updating the financial forms with her higher earning to match her W-2 or should I be using her current (lower) earning.

I am interested in getting input from folks who has gone in front of the judge. I can’t imaging a judge spend that much time on each docket and is mostly just there to rubber stamping before moving to the next case considering we both just want to be divorced.

How likely will the judge pick up on something like that or will spend time reviewing the paperwork before the hearing to quiz my stbx about her lower salary?
