Anyone can lie, even under oath, so there are certainly going to be employers that are willing to lie about how much one of their employees make. When I went to court about child support my ex had to have a written and signed paper directly from the employer that told how much he made. It was off that amount that child support was set. This did not happen in my case, but I know some women will automatically get their ex's tax return money directly from the government.
My friend's husband was a realtor, he drove a leased Lexus, and wrote off everything as a business expense. The man went to Vegas every month, stayed at the Bellagio, went to Aspen skiing, paid zip in child support. He was self employed, and had it look on paper that he had almost no income.
He was a vindictive sociopath, punishing his ex wife for divorcing him. He could care less about his kids.
There were times when lliterally, she had no money for Christmas gifts. She was over income for food assistance, barely. She had no cell phone. One year our family adopted her for Christmas, because she was too proud to ask for help. Those are the people your heart goes out to.
