I'll try make this as succinct as possible:
I have my girls 50/50 and because of shift work I am able to have my children during the week which lowers our child care expenses. This was the case preceeding our divorce as well. There is a good chance that I will be successful in securing a regular mon-fri positions. The divorce order states that regardless of any change in work schedule, the living arrnangements for our children remain the same. No problem there, but the scheduling change will affect the cost of daycare. My former-wife states that she will not pay her share of the increased cost because it is my work which is changing.
Now I understand that Child Care is a special expense under Section 7 (for the purpose of employment, training etc. etc.) but does anyone know of any legal resource (government publication or perhaps case law) which references the need to ADJUST the child amount if one of the parents work schedules change?
My hope if to be able to reference this with her in the hopes of avoiding the costly matter of having my lawyer involved.
Thank you
