Unless she works for a government agency that is required to post their salary, there is no public way to find out her salary.

Thank you for the advice. I will just seek renegotiation of the Child Support payment. Either its fair or unbalanced in one way and (in the very unlikely case) where I am not paying enough, It’s my responsibility to top it up to meet the guidelines.
Two questions I have:
My son goes to a private school, but his “educational needs” are not signficantly different from any other young boys - the private school is only a ‘need’ insofar as we do not have much faith in the public school system. Does this expense (which I pay for) qualify as an “extraordinary” expense?
My ex-wife, through her affiliation with the private school’s parent company, is able to pass along a 25% tuition savings. Should this be reflected in any way on the worksheet? I do not think so since it’s not really an income for her. (ie: She is not receiving an extra $250 and then turning around and paying for it on the extraordinary expense line).
I would think that private school would be an extraordinary expense due to the fact that it’s an expense that “most” parents do not pay…but maybe the attorney will answer this for clarification.
The amount of the tuition with the discount included would be put towards extraordinary expenses that you pay. It’s nice that your wife can get the discount but all that it really does is lower the amount of extraordinary expenses that you pay out.
If you pay a significant amount towards your childs education, this could be a grounds to deviate from the child support guidelines, you would have to file a motion and request this from the court.

One final question on this topic - do I have to file a motion if we can (continue) to agree? Currently, child support and custody arrangements are part of our separation agreement and not court ordered.
I like it that way - cheaper for all, and better if we can get along and agree. In such a case, I presume we would just make a modification to the child support section of our separation agreement, have it notarized, and then implement the changes. Will that be sufficient?
You generally would execute a new agreement which modifies the child support provisions of the previous agreement.

I wonder if there is any method to use publicly available information to verify one’s income? I think the answer is no, but I thought that I would check with you.
My ex wife started a new job in the summer and is showing some signs of extravagence (new car, boat, trip to island) that make me believe she is making significantly more money than she was a year ago when we divorced.
Our child support is based on mutual agreement without any prior terms to agreement - child support is not court ordered. I have historically earned about 10:1 her salary and current payments reflect that, although the situation appears to have changed somewhat on her side.
I don’t want to be “taken” - what is the best way to approach the subject? We remain amicable, but in part because we don’t talk about this sort of thing, and instead stick to our original agreement. If she is simply living in debt, that’s not an issue I care about (or would seem to alter payments), but if she is approaching even 1/4 my salary, I think child support payments should start to reflect her finances.
