Since separation in Jan we have continued to occupy matrimonial home. We split expenses 50 / 50 with me paying daycare, loan payments, etc and her paying utilities and property tax. Basically I apportion expenses so it works out to as close to zero as possible.
At the end of each month we would payout the other i.e. equalize to whoever paid more. Then in May she spent hundreds of dollars on none essential things I did not agree to and asked theybe added to monthly equalization of household expenses. I refused because i did not agree to any of these.
So I just been keeping a running tab - this month she is refusing to pay utilities i.e. hydro and natural gas are over-due and soon so will property tax. She is saying I should pay because i owe for all the non-essential expenses i didn't agree to. I, as usual, have paid daycare, loans, etc.
She has the money just digging her heels in to cause tension on another item. Unfortunately, if they are paid things will start to go off and we have 2 children so this isn't an option. Don't know what to do? I'm financially strapped with all the legal fees and everything i'm already covering.
Options please! I recently filed and we have a case conference in December if that helps. Does this qualify for an emergency motion - i don't think so.
At my wits end - can't believe how unreasonable for her to just go out and spend hundreds of dollars without telling me and then expect equalization. If I pay - she wins and this will just happen more often and for larger amounts.
