I requested a child support review because insurance costs for my daughter increased significantly and my ex didn't keep his promise to help with the cost. He's now threatening to turn my 72 yr old retired/single mother into the IRS because the money ($75 every 2 weeks during the school year and $150 every 2 weeks during the summer) I give her to care for our 11 yr old daughter for the past 7 yrs isn't claimed as income (no tax break). My mom doesn't run a daycare, she cares for our daughter out of the kindness of her heart, so I pay her for her time and expenses. My ex also says our daughter can stay home by herself after school and daycare isn't needed. Last night he informs me that his lawyer will request a discovery and subpoena my mother. Will the judge allow this? My mother will not be able to handle something like this and I am scared to death. My ex knows this would upset me because he threatened to "turn my mother into the IRS" a few years ago.
