Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My question is, in my divorce decree that i received today it states that my husband (almost ex husband) only makes $1,119 a month. He has admitted and i have proof that his monthly income is much greater than that. I believe he is stating he makes less to make his child support less. I do have a lawyer and did tell her, am i required to report that to the child support division in Austin? Not sure what i'm suppose to do but i do know for a fact that he makes over double that amount per month.

I cannot tell where you live. So talk to your attorney immediately.

"Letting the child support division in Austin" know won't do you want good. A judge "orders" a person to pay a certain amount of child support each month. The San Antonio Disbursement Unit merely collects what was ordered.

You need "proof" that he makes more. His former tax returns will show what he made in past years.

Talk to your attorney.
