A man must pay his ex-wife more than $282,000 in child support and maintenance payments after a judge determined he misclassified personal expenditures, including a mountain-climbing trip to Mount Everest, as business expenses.
Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Colleen Duffy (See Profile) wrote in E.D. v. J.D., 634/05, that the ex-husband tried to “artificially deflate” his income in a number of ways between 2007 and 2012 to avoid full child support and maintenance payments to his former wife.
