ItQuick background context -custody and access was settled on consent for week about access in July. Some small terms and CS were left outstanding.
I asked Mom by email, after our consent agreement, that we need to adjust CS based on shared parenting and have exchanged financials.
Around that same time, I Asked my lawyer to discuss the matter with other lawyer but he had been and didn't get to it.
3 weeks ago, I was laid off due to lack of work and am on EI. My lawyer advised them that I've lost my job and we need to adjust CS, Although I had asked this be approached by mentioning the shared parenting arrangement as opposed to the loss of employment.
Her lawyer basically responded her client wants me to pay based on last years income. My lawyer is going to follow up with them and I have asked my lawyer to mention the shared arrangement, and that I would like both of us to pay based on recent incomes. Mom has a new job this year and is doing overtime based on her paystub I have.
Questions:
What is my challenge here? Has my lawyered sort of screwed me over by leaving the discussion of CS up until I lost my job? Has he further screwed me over by approaching it as I have lost my job as opposed to the parties are now sharing custody?
If I continue to pay CS based on latest interim order to FRO.. is that in any way a status quo against me? I tried to enter a payment plan with FRO but they ended up seeking garnishment to my e.i. benefits and suspending license . So I paid to shut them up. Basically.
Should I try to setup a payment plan with FRO and I'd they do seek to suspend my license I file refraining motion based on needing license to look for work, going back to university to study (requires commute) and for piciking up and dropping off child to school? And Lastly because the matter is before the courts as a motion to change CS pending final resolution?
