Well looks like my friend is being kept off work longer....work insurance have sent him the long-term disability papers.
For the last 3 months (short term disability) he has been paid from his work 60% of his income....his work continues to garnish this amount/sending his child support payments to FRO (so the guy is only seeing just over $500 every two weeks---over $800 goes to his ex for child support...then he has to pay half of her babysitting expenses and half of any activities the kids are in)
Now that they have put him on long-term disability....paperwork said that the insurance company will be directly giving him a monthly payment now instead of his work giving him the bi-weekly payments.
Wonder if insurance will still be garnishing child support?
Another co-worker who knows his situation was saying that disability insurance does not even count as income....telling him that he should not be still paying what he has been??? (anyone know if this is actually true)
actual guy in situation says he's always been told child support is simply based on the previous years income....no matter what source (disability, rrsp's, etc.) and no matter what they are currently making (for example because he worked part of this year...his income will probably be around $45,000......but currently he'd really be making $30,000 on disability)......He says he will still have to pay based on that $45,000 and struggle....
I don't understand how a Mother can earn over $50,000 a year herself.....continue to collect $1,000 a month from the father (over $800 for support than the babysitting and activities expenses makes it in the $1,000 range)........while the father has to live off $500 every two weeks (there is no way someone afford their own living expenses--rent/vehicle/utilities/food off $500 every two weeks)
I understand BOTH parents should be contributing financially to the children.....but I would think this man should be paying much lower amounts now???
