I proved she was falsifying her expenses by pointing out the inconsistencies in her own paperwork (i.e. claiming monthly auto expenses when she listed that she didn't have a car), talking to her family members (whose contact info was listed on her original rental application), and also reviewing her paystubs (which she had to submit with her court motion) and talking to her employer (who was surprisingly very willing to answer my questions and tell me that some other garnishments she claimed were being deducted from her paycheck actually were no longer being deducted).To answer your second question (what if she had gotten a new job), I would have done what I did in the first place to find out where she worked....talk to her family members, check social media accounts (people will often post it on Facebook or LinkedIn), and do a good old fashioned Google search (in this case I Googled her name and found her name, phone number and workplace were all posted in an online roster for contact people in her industry).
