Here's the situation. A friend of mine has been divorced roughly 7 years. She has two children (4 and 8 year olds). There father is currently paying child support according to the Ontario Chart. He picks them up every other weekend and the kids stay with him the fri, sat and are returned sun night.
So realisticly the children live with the mother %99 of the time as to what the separation agreement says.
Father now states he wants 50/50 custody. Rotating on a 2 week basis. He claims he has the power to make this happen and claims that he will be excempt from paying child support because of 50/50.
My questions
1. Shoulden't she still receive some sort of child support, even if it a lesser amount? ( he does and always did make more $$$ then her)
2. Wouldent the ball be in her court in making the dicission of 50/50 custody?
Most importantly
3. If the Seperation agreement was changed in order to give the father %50 custody, what stipulations should be added in the amendment in order to protect mother and child financially?
Any advice or comment would be appreciated. Thank you
