Need some help...
My partner modified his child support back in January based on his unemployment income and provided an arrears cheque for 2013. (He modified according to the agreement for June 2013 and it was less than his actual income so he recalculated.)
His ex disagreed and cashed the modified cheques but not the arrears. She then filed their agreement with FRO for an amount from 2012. Because that amount was just $5 more than the table amount for his income, he isnt concerned. He cant do anything with FRO.
Today he got an email from his ex requesting they attend mediation to reach an agreement on cs AND requesting info on his job search and resume. She states that their agreement requires they attend mediation when they cant agree.
This is strange to me. Is mediation used for this? Does he have to do this? She has a pattern of disagreeing with everything. They failed mediation the first time. Added to that, shes expecting him to travel four hours (there and then four hours back) and pay part of mediation and hes unemployed. Further, its with FRO, they cant change it unless she withdraws the file so really, even if they do mediation they still need a court order for FRO. And since when does someone have to provide job search info?
Thoughts? Suggestions on how to respond?
