  • S. 7 expenses

    I just got all my paperwork for S. 7 expenses returned from FRO. The reason - current court order doesn't address S. 7 expenses, original agreement (from which court order is drawn) states S.7 expenses will be contributed towards if consent provided in writing in advance.

    All the expenses submitted are daycare related. Ex hasn't "consented" ahead of time, but he refuses to return phone calls or emails (won't even acknowledge that it was received) and hangs up if I do get him on the phone.

    He hasn't exercised his access time - including a week of vacation time that HE decided our daughter wasn't good enough to go on this year. My expenses are much higher than they would have been had he used his access time (which is 3pm Friday to 8:30am Monday morning - every other weekend and Wednesday nights from 3pm to Thursday morning at 8:30am)

    How is one supposed to have this stuff "consented to" when everything else he stated he would do in a court order hasn't been done either?

    I'm frustrated with how one sided this whole system is. He can agree to whatever he likes, but doesn't have to follow through....yet I need consent for daycare costs?

    This whole system has me baffled and confused.....I'm extremely annoyed with it all....HELP/ADVICE?

    You figure out the average of what your costs are for section 7, less any subsidies/etc. Then you file a motion with the court asking for the ex's expected share to be deducted each month.

    You include any email chains/etc that he has ignores/ refused as exhibit evidence. If you get it written as a monthly deduction FRO should be able to enforce.

      that's exactly what I asked my lawyer to do....request a specified amount monthly to cover S. 7 so I wasn't dealing with this - cause this is exactly what I predicted would happen. He isn't a reasonable person at all, but I was assured by my lawyer that FRO would enforce S.7 expenses with the agreement I had.

      I'm at my wits end, I really am. Its been almost 8 years since we separated and he has made every year more difficult than the last. His income is 2.5 times mine, even though he's fought tooth and nail for two years for the access time he has - and he doesn't use it. But, in a couple of weeks he'll be calling demanding .... I give up.

          Just because you knew he would be like this, doesn't mean the court does. They will give everyone the benefit of the doubt and allow them to screw themselves.

          Now that you have documentation that he's not working with you re: section 7, you can file a motion to have your agreement adjusted.
