I’m writing this on behalf of someone else.
She is historically the income earner. Divorced since 2014, legal agreement negotiated between lawyers. Agreement states 12 post dated cheques based off NOA. He worked part time during marriage (under $30k/year), she worked full time ($150k/yr). Post divorce the ex/he did obtain a full time job at $45k per year and remarried (divorce was due to him cheating with new spouse). 3 children, shared custody but custody agreed on to him full custody 3 years ago during Covid. It has not changed, original divorce agreement not changed. This was agreed in an email and there has since been some estrangement with the children.
Main concern and facts: current child support.
She lost her sales job April 2022. Has been actively interviewing but is not getting the job. Has been paying the table amount based off $150k/year up until this month. She has been living off savings. Severance payments from workplace ended Oct 2022. Did receive $23k in EI this past year (2023) which will be her income for her upcoming 2023 NOA. Savings now depleted. No more EI to come.
She wants to pay child support off this years income of $23k EI. Child support will go down significantly. Is this a valid option, with 1.5 years of unemployment?
(As to her job, I think it’s an age thing in her sales industry, but I’m not about to tell her that. I’ve seen her competition and she can’t compete. I personally think she needs to change industries and I’m slowly beginning to hint that to my friend. Known each other since childhood but she’s sensitive and very egotistical about her job)
