Child Support Modification

Card image cap

Location: Colorado

I have two children with an ex. We have been divorced for 6 years and I’ve observed quite a few purchases which I would consider excessive over the years. These include luxury vehicles, recreational vehicles, many vacations and weekend trips - some extravagant and some not but it seems like they are very frequent.

We have 50/50 custody and she has been working full time in a management role since the divorce, as have I. In the past we have exchanged paystubs as income verification and completed sworn financial statements once last year when I was able to have the child support reduced slightly based on income changes. Her income has not increased much over the past 5 years and she could not afford the lifestyle that I’ve observed on the income she has shared. She has a long term live in boyfriend/fiancee and I’ve always assumed he is doing well financially and is generous with his money so I never really put much energy into being upset or jealous.

A few weeks ago I had a random person come up to me in a public place. They knew my name and my exes name. I did not know them. They took my number saying that they know of “significant child support fraud”. Unfortunately they never reached out to me after that encounter. I asked my ex about it and it was just immediately dismissed as false.

I don’t want to stir the pot as things are and have been amicable, but, i also don’t want to get taken advantage of especially considering the children are still young.

I’m looking for some guidance on what options I may have? Unfortunately I don’t have funds for an attorney especially when I’m not even confident there is anything to pursue.
