Hello,
I got divorced in Hull a few years ago and have been paying child support as specified in the divorce judgement. My ex also lives in Gatineau. I am now considering moving to Ottawa, just across the bridge. I am wondering if upon moving I would automatically need to pay child support based on the Federal guidelines, which are much higher, or if my ex could take me to court (and be successful) in getting the judgement modified to reflect those Federal guidelines.
I am also considering keeping my house in Gatineau and spend a few days a week there, but spend the majority of my time, when I don't have my kid, in Ottawa where I also work. For tax purposes I would file in Ontario and consider Ontario as my primary residence, but all exchanges could possibly be done at my Gatineau house. Would the federal guidelines apply if exchanges are still done in Quebec but that for primary residence is in Ontario?
Thanks!
