What do we do now?

[NoMore]

Our lawyer filed on the 8th. We got a letter today (the 18th) stating that we have until Monday to show 90 days of pay stubs. We have never kept paystubs! My husband is salaried...he has made the same on his checks for the past two years. We have given the lawyer a printout from his work on his past 6 months worth of checks and a paystub proving that is how much he had made. What are we supposed to do? His work has told us that the printout is the best that they could do. What else can we get to show proof?

Did this letter come from the Court?

That means, the lawyer didn't file your printouts. I too don't get a "true" paystub as I'm direct deposit (for the last 15 years!!!).

Call your lawyer FIRST thing in the morning.

And, yes... they will automatically DISMISS your case if it's not submitted promptly!!!

Who does payroll at your husband's workplace? Do they do it onsite or send it out to a vendor? Your husband's payroll dept. can easily put together a statement showing what you were paid and deductions for 90 days with no problem. Someone has to keep track of the taxes taken out of your pay and sent in, etc., etc.

Make it a point to always keep at least a year's worth of paystubs (or if direct deposit printed off online or something from your employer showing your withholdings) for at least 3 years which is the normal period of time for holding onto such information for tax or other purposes. If you don't want paper copies, scan them and file them online.
