Hi
This is my very first post, so please forgive me If I am not aware of any rules for postings.
With regards to spousal support -will a judge even contemplate addressing or granting spousal support without the resolution of all other financial issues including the Matrimonial home and debt situation resulting from the marriage?
In our case- we have been separated 2 years with a child under the age of 10. Marriage was less than 5 years -my ex is sitting on the matrimonial home and unwilling to settle while I am holding all the other debt in my name -credit cards, line of credits etc.,etc.. These debt were mainly incurred during the marriage and my ex is now talking and behaving as if she knew nothing about the debt. Obviously me putting all that debt on my name alone was a mistake.
I don't believe my ex is entitled to any spousal support .
I have paid CS at full guideline amount since separation without an agreement or order in place. At this time I want to ask for CS offset. I have our child 50 percent of the time.
OCL recommended shared parenting and we decided to go along with the final report recommendations. Ex was mad as hell with the recommendations but has so far adopted them-she made too many terrible mistakes during the past 2 years which I won't get into now. (we have been involved with both OCL and CAS)
Is it a good idea to ask for CS offset based on income or wait until final agreement or court order in this regard. My concern is the If I should wait to ask then it might seem as if I am agreeing to paying the full amount while ex is working and earning an income.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks!
