My husband pays $2000.00 a month in child support to his ex wife that was deducted from his paycheck each pay period. He just recently lost his job that he had for 13 years. He filed for unemployment and filed to modify his child support until he finds another job. His ex's attorney wants to postpone the court date for two months because she wouldn't be available on August 10th to go to court, her attorney has also asked for my husband to answer discovery on why he lost his job (because his ex heard that he was forced to quit) AND they are asking for my income information! Can they use my income to calculate child support when they are not my children? Why would they ask for discovery on why he lost his job when he is receiving unemployment ?

The language you use suggests you are not from the UK and if you are elsewhere the following does not apply.

Your income is only relevant in so much as you share living expenses although if you receive Working Families Tax Credits on behalf of the family it would be included as part your husband's income for calculating child support if he earns more than you.
