I'm not a lawyer, but, I don't think you need to fill out a financial statement in this case...it's not really relevant here. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but, child support is based on the federal table guidelines...regardless of what you make yourself. In terms of the arrears, he will have to pay them based on what his income was during the time period in which they accumulated...not his (lower) current income. It's pretty brutal that he's trying to do that.
I would try and get an order that he is to provide you with copies of his tax returns/assessments by a certain date (eg. June 1st) every year. For the section 7 expenses, you may have to submit a copy of your most recent tax return as, in most cases, they will base your proportionate share on what your percentage of the two combined incomes is.
