  • Section 7 expenses

    When determining Section 7 Expenses, because my ex has not provided me (aka refuses) with his 2009, 2010 and 2011 Financial Statement, and has refused to pay me the back Section 7 Expenses, do I have to ask his lawyer to provide me with all the 3 years, so that the calculation for the expenses for that particular year, which is determined by % of both of our income, is used for that year in question? Or do we go with the latest year financial statement ?

    Currently CS support payments based on him telling us in a CC in 2010 that his 2009 income was approx 55K (he would not provide financial statements then and not now still) and that was what we worked at. Should we do the same for the Section 7.

    FRO has said that they will not be able to do anything unless we have a % amount that we can deduct.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yes.

    For clarity, you will be asking for notices of assessment, not financial statements.

    No. Obtain full disclosure. If he won't provide his income tax returns and notices of assessment then ask for his income to be imputed higher.

      If he is self-employed I would insist on his financial statements as some people are just too creative with business expenses (claiming exorbitant rent and personal living expenses). If he is an employee then I would agree with OrleansLawyer and request NOAs.

        And if he ignores it like he has in the past, what recourse do I have to get him to give me the information ? We have a Court order that states that we are to give our NOA's or financial statements every year, which he has refused to do, even when my (then) lawyer has sent numerous notes to his lawyer. (And now, I don't have a lawyer). What do I need to do to move this along ?
        Thanks for your help. (again).

          If he is in violation of a court Order then you can bring a motion to have him found in contempt of court.

          Edit - prudence may dictate that giving him a firm deadline by which to comply prior to bringing the motion would save you time and legal fees.
