I disagree with making bio dad pay more based on the danger pay. If you don't include it, you are making almost the same amount he is yearly.

YOU are bring home just shy of 42,000 a year. (25,000 wage + 8400 CCTB + 8400 CS). HE is bring home around 47, 600 (50,000 Wage - 8400 CS + 6000 disability).

If you are also receiving UCCB for both kids, you are at 44,200 per year.

How much do the special expenses come to each year? How much extra do you receive on your taxes for being able to claim all the deductions for the kids?

I'd be willing to bet if you factor those things in, YOU make more than HE does.

25,000 is minimum wage levels....maybe you should look into upgrading your skills or finding a job that pays more?

My ex is a civilian defence contractor (NATO deployed) in Afghanistan and his income is completely tax free. Get a court order for pay stubs and/or court records and make sure full disclosure if you really want to nickle and dime while he serves his country.

If your relationship is good, then just try to negotiate. Good luck
