Child custody/support issue

[Champsarah]

Yes I am full of questions! My fiance has two children and his "wife" is now living with a man who is making $180,000. annually. Should this be taken into consideration when support payments are being decided? Currently he pays $ 850.00 a month.

THe two have not remarried but are expecting their first child in Febuary. THey have recently moved from Kitchener to Brooklin, Ont. about a two hour drive.

Again any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

Champsarah,

Just an opinion,

When you say support payments are you referring to child support - if so no it won't have an impact as the periodic amount of child support as it is based from tables and is calculated by cross-referring to your fiance's yearly salary or an average salary of last 3 years income returns - line 150.

Please see the relevent statute that deals with calculating child support

If you are referring to spousal support; Are they living in a commonlaw relationship? If so yes - depending on the length of their relationship, her expenses may be different now and this would construe to be a material change of circumstances. The longer they co-habitate in a cojoint relationship, (commonlaw) your chances of reducing spousal support are greater.
