My ex stated he had $0 income to base my spousal support on. Six months after finalizing the divorce he is paying for his 3 grown daughter's and himself to fly to Hawaii on vacation. He is paying everything. He is a doctor.
Is it possible to get his financial records for the last 6 months? We are divorced but he lied to the court about his income if he can afford this vacation. How do I get his financial information?

A court could issue a subpoena for the necessary information, especially since its obvious he lied to the court. I am, however, surprised that the judge would believe that he had an income of $0 when he's a doctor.

Since you can’t really know people in divorce message boards, expect many different responses to your posts but more often than not, you will get opinions with sound advice from those who are very active and have a long history in divorce forums.
These people are perhaps professionals dealing with troubled marriages or could be experienced people who are willing to help others. Of course since divorce message boards are online, expect occasional trolls now and then. These forums are usually managed well by moderators so you can expect to have decent discussions there.
there are steps to be taken...
Review the originating state laws regarding assets, alimony, support, etc
If you have burden of proof that he committed fraud (regarding assets/income) you may have a valid reason for a judge to re-open your divorce (again based on local state laws).
I'm not an attorney but in a similar situation: You must be able to prove or make it plausible that fraud was committed.
What proof do you have that HE paid for this trip? He is allowed to enjoy life. Unfortunately for you a vacation does not mean he committed fraud.
You have nothing if you think this based on his current ability to take a vacation. It seems that you are angry over him living life.
Not trying to be ugly, but I have real legitimate issues with an abundance of evidence. Your situation cannot be based on anger and assumptions..
