The Court will provide you and your exhusband with forms called Financial Disclosure Affidavits that requires you to both list your expenses and your income. These documents are sworn statements about your finances. If your spouse is lying about his income, it may be obvious when comparing his expenses to what he says he makes. If you can show that he makes more money, even based on your personal knowledge of his employment when you were married, then the Court may impute income to him -- meaning the Court may believe your representation of his finances if it appears that he is not being completely forthright.
At minimum, the Child Support Standards Act provides that payors must pay at least $300/annual.
