I'm hoping someone has once faced this situation and can provide some insight...
My husband has been unemployed since October 2008, and collecting EI. A few weeks ago, he secured a salaried full-time position. It is now time to re-adjust his child support.
Is the new amount of CS based on his full "annual salary" or would it be based on only half his annual salary plus EI (January-May) as he began the job only halfway through the year?
If I recall correctly from past court appearances, the new amount of child support is based on the full annual income, regardless of when in the year the payor began working at that salary. Therefore, his new child support amount would be based on the annual salary for his job.
Can someone please confirm if this is correct, or if there is another way of determining child support payments in this circumstance?
Thank you!
