If you believe your ex spouse has had a substantial increase in income due to a new job, can you subpoena that information from their employer or do you have to make a motion in court first? The current child support agreement/consent order was entered into 2 years ago.
You would need to file a motion to modify child support first so there is a pending matter in which to subpoena documents.
Child support can be modified when there is a substantial change in circumstances affecting the wellbeing of the minor child(ren).
