So, in calculating the amount ex actually sent in 2016 vs what he was supposed to pay for child support, there is an almost $3,000 arrears from when we switched over to the new amount. Ex says he paid it but refuses to provide proof. I have provided every transfer for 2016 and know the amount he paid is not what our agreement says it should be.
Is it a motion that is filed if he refuses to pay?
Now some will say is it worth the $3,000? but I have already taken lower amounts of SS and agreed to a lower income to be used to calculate CS to try to stay out of court in the past. Ex, regardless of his high income, will nickel and dime everything. He is technically in arrears for CS and will likely fuss again this year about providing his proper taxes to adjust CS payment. Understandably, he doesn't want me to have knowledge of his practice.
Which brings me to the next thing. Youngest daughter is a competitive dancer. She may well end up dancing as a career. Her dance costs including costumes, travelling fees, classes, footwear, etc. cost well over $6,000 (even with her $700 scholarship for this year). Ex has it written into our agreement that he will not pay for costumes (or school uniforms) which I agreed to but now also says he pays too much child support and refuses to pay for anything for dance including the classes.
Youngest child support is $1750 monthly now. Do you think it is unreasonable that dance is extracurricular? Our current ratio would be 85%/15% as ex makes more than $400,000 now. His portion of dance would be approximately $5,300.
What do you think? I am trying to figure out what is reasonable to ask for if we have to go to court to have his proper taxes disclosed (last year he tried to hide his whole corp from me).
Thanks.
