My STBXW enlisted her father to spend a bunch of money working with financial people to put together reports that inflate my income 5X or more.

I run a business. So they have gone through everything and are presenting basically every business expense (legit or not) as personal income. She had her dad spend a ton of money getting “experts” to agree on various parts of it. Even though the majority of it is BS.

There’s a crumb of truth here and there (ie there were some non-biz expenses run through the company HOWEVER they were properly recategorized and taken against equity by a CPA - so we did nothing wrong) but he and his team of goons are taking everything out of context and painting this insanely unreal picture and attempting to make it look like I make so much more money than I do (more than I ever have in my lifetime) so his daughter can claim spousal support.

Meanwhile she’s actually hiding money. Deflated her income by 60% and lying about everything from mental abuse, health issues, etc. etc. she’s a freaking monster…

I’m looking into having a forensic accountant go through everything to refute it all. However the judge gave have her full access to a few hundred thousand, and me just enough for living expenses in the temp orders. I’m not sure I can justify spending another $30k on forensic accounting. But I also have a ton to lose if the judge believes their bullshit.

Judge has been reasonable so far. My attorney has been great. But the reality is that my xw is willing to spend whatever she can to try to destroy me, and her father is in on it too.

How the hell do I battle through this without spending myself into oblivion?
