Hidden Income
Hidden income is earnings a spouse conceals or understates during a Florida divorce, often to lower child support or alimony. This can include unreported cash, off-the-books work, deferred bonuses, or income routed through a business. Because Florida bases support on accurate income figures, uncovering hidden income can change support calculations significantly.
