I've gone through many posts trying to find an answer to my question but I haven't found it yet. Hopefully you all can help.
Split with ex 4 years ago and we each had custody of 1 child each. SA and divorce stated no child support due to the custody arrangements at that time. After a while Child 1 went to live with other parent and I started paying support for both kids. It was an amount we worked out between ourselves and nothing was ever written up. When child 1 moved I, as a responsible parent just automatically started paying, ex did not request or go through FRO or anything like that. Soon child 1 moved back with me but due to ex being under employed I continued to pay a smaller amount of CS for child 2 to help with the expenses.
Fast forward 2 years and child 2 has now also come to live with me as well. I requested CS from ex who replied there is no money and is in the hole every month, even more now because I have stopped paying CS and of course Child Tax credit will be cut off. I spoke to a lawyer briefly through a free consultation (approx 5 min telephone conversation) and was told to google Ontario Family Court forms and submit 3 copies of Application for Financial Statement to the court. One copy to court, one to ex and one for me. I took a look at the form and it looks like I have to fill out all my financial information. I have an issue with this as it really is none of my exes business what I have in assets and debts. Am I looking at the wrong form? Is there something else I should be filling out?
