Now the wife has every reason to to seek back pay & take more. She can just tell the judge, what else was he lying about?

Depends, is this illegal? Did the employee know they where going to get rehired during the trial. Was it a lie to state they where not employed?

I feel this is morally wrong but not quite punishable. If annything the system is broken for allowing such loophole. Either they owe a part of their income or they don’t. That part can be “zero” bur current employment shouldn’t be part of that calculation.

Yes. Lying to a court is illegal.

I was not a fly in this court but seems like there is no reason to assume they lied about anything.

They where factually unemployed at the time of hearing.

They have the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves about any potential rehiring.

It could also be setup by the boss without employee awareness, a excuse to rehire them after their business suffers (i fired you for your own good but i couldn’t tell you to not influence the legal system)

Also, alimony isn’t a 1 meeting thing and then you’re free.

You might have a point looking at the state of society and the legality of that action in their country. But without any of that information it looks like their just serving their and their own’s best interest which would fall under the neutral category in DnD. Thus we see why alignment charts suck tarrasque balls.

I’d say if you get married in a place with alimony, then you do ethically owe your spouse alimony in the case of divorce. Part of the understanding under which the relationship commitments were made.

No matter how you feel about it, he was a fool to make a public post about it.

Malicious compliance story.

Friend of mine was paying child support for his kids, his ex wife was claiming no income as she had to look after the kids which he knew was bullshit and she was working in the new boyfriends restaraunt but claimed that she was just "helping out when she could. That stopped for a year when her and her new boyfriend wanted to buy a house, so he gave her a very nicely paid job working at his restaraunt as a “manager”. They found and bought a house and immediately she was “fired” and went back to seeking child support.

So he sued to have the child support lowered as she can clearly work when it suits her goals and she fought it kicking and fucking screaming, tried taking away his access to the kids and generally making his life hell. So he went to the tax office with a hot tip “I’m willing to bet that between (insert dates here) this restaraunt somehow took in exactly (insert what ex-wife made + taxes) more than they normally do per year. Id be willing to bet it was their best year ever and I guarantee you will find some very cooked books”

Turns out its really easy to get custody when your ex-wife is being charged with fraud and tax evasion.

So he went to the tax office with a hot tip

You had me up until here. But the idea that a local tax office is going to follow a “hot tip” off of anyone, much less an ex-husband, is laughable. I’ve had to negotiate with the staff of my local tax office before and they don’t move a muscle unless someone up the bureaucratic chain orders it. Maybe this guy was friends with the State AG somehow? Or some other senior bureaucrat? But past that, this sounds like total fiction.

I thought that the IRS actually does have a anonymous tip line?
