Self rep in Ottawa, 1 week on / 1 week off living arrangements, joint custody
My ex is not co operating with me because I filed a motion 15 to have our separation agreement amended. I believe I can prove a material change in circumstance. We used the offset method for child support and even though our agreement clearly states that we are each allowed to claim one of our 2 eligible dependents as well as split the child tax benefits 50/50 , the offset method doesn't allow me to claim one of my kids . While I know that this is more of a tax court case , I would still like to have my agreement changed to state that the money is going both ways ( not offset ).
A friend has suggested that I file a motion for summary judgement so that a judge can review the agreement and decide if my argument has merit .
Does anyone here have an opinion as to whether this is a good idea or not ?
What could happen ? How much does it cost ?
Can anyone recommend a good lawyer in Ottawa who has experience with this ?
