Interesting angle from a patrick.net reader: people often lie and claim they have more income when applying for a loan, and then they lie and claim to have less income when it comes time to pay child support.
You would think that statements on loan applications would be fair evidence of income for child support. I wonder if the banks can give copies of loan applications to the courts.
