Is there not a cap on what they can take?

And to top it all off--she's having our children tell me "If you give mommy more money, she'll let you see us more" (She denied my christmas access, I didn't see them for a month after that)
The children have said things such as "You need to give mommy money for the babysitter" and "Mommy told me to ask you to buy me a winter coat" "Mommy needs to get lots of money from you, so we can get a new car"

What the hell did she do with the $11,800 I gave her last year???
She makes almost $60,000 employment income, receives $300 a month for child tax, universal child care, plus my $400 monthly at the moment.

I just started making $40,000 this year for employment income. I don't receive money from anywhere else.

Very frustrating!

With her taking all this money now, our children will suffer. Because she doesn't spend the money on them. They didn't have one new outfit out of that $11,800 last year. I was still buying our children clothing and shoes during my access time with them.
We have a routine of going out to a restaurant at least once during my access time with them, going shopping, buying them a new toy, going to indoor playgrounds that cost money----the children tell me that they never ever get to do this stuff with their mom, I try to find fun family stuff that we can do------well now with her taking all this money from me, I may not even be able to afford the $30 in gas to drive to pick my chlidren up! I definitely won't be able to give them the routine weekends we have been having.
So it is our children that will suffer

Sounds like court time. If you are joint custody, your incomes are to be offset and your 40000 to her 60000 means she pays you.
