Is notification of 30 days in which to respond,required?

[Boyz5]

Hope someone can answer this question for me....Approximately 12 days ago I sent a copy of my last 3 years "Notice of Assessment" and with this year's earnings up-to-date to my Ex-husband with a request that he send me the same....This was done upon advice that was given by a Family Law lawyer and I was that he had 30 days in which to respond before I could pursue the matter with court action...I photo copied the letter and the address on the envelope in which it was sent....The question I have is,Should I have mentioned in this letter that he had 30 days in which to respond before action would be taken in court?...I am going to be applying for an increase in child support as his financial situation has improved dramatically...He is currently paying 304.33 for 5 kids based on his 2002 income tax return....I have yet to hear anything thus far and knowing him ,if there is a way he can wiggle out of this,he will....Any advice on this matter would be appreciated...Thanks!

It would of been nice to mention the 30 day deadline but not necessary. Nothing prevents you from sending a supplementary letter advising of fixed date less the 12 days - considering the request has already been sent. A good read on your dilemma:

Family Law Act - O. Reg. 391/97

Thank You!...I bookmarked that site,very useful information on there....I think I will send him a follow-up letter letting him know of the 30 day time frame...that way he can't use it against me somehow although I'm not sure he'd be able to anyways.

always best to cover all your bases, just in case

Have you sent him a request for his financial disclosure? You may wish to do this before you make your application. If he does not provide his disclosure, then you mention this in your application to vary his support.

Each party is to provide financial information yearly. Many new orders and agreements have this written into them.
