Legal Assistance with Alimony Problems

Questioner

My ex and her lawyer have given me a much too high income. However, this has been accepted by the court. However, I did not object to this because I thought that this could only be done through a lawyer. I had accepted it. Now the LBIO collects partner alimony. However, I read that they have special powers and can easily request from the tax authorities what the actual income was and is. Can this be reversed. In my opinion, it was collected wrongly.

Lawyer

Unfortunately, the LBIO cannot change the amount of alimony on its own. I advise you to come to a solution in consultation with your ex and her lawyer. If that does not work, I advise you to start a procedure and also hold them liable for the costs. Although costs are compensated between spouses, it is possible that if there is deliberate cheating, the costs will be borne by your ex.

Questioner

The lbio has special powers such as insight into the tax authorities? This would have allowed them to see that the alimony payment was much too high to conjure up the real income?
