I am having a disagreement with my ex husband re: what our income is this year. He pays offset child support as he earns more than I do by about $20,000. I'm getting about $230/mos.
We also use our income to decide how much we each pay for daycare fees and sports/activities.
Issue #1. I had a tenant living in my home. I claimed the income and with deductions i broke even and did not have an increase in my income. Even thiugh I claimed it my line 150 is not more than my salary because of the deductions (ir property taxes, insurance, internet bill, home repairs)
Ex says i have to take line 150 and then add my rental income. He says i cannot claim any deductions for the putpose of calculating the offset child support amount.
Is this correct?
Issue # 2. I am on maternity leave this year. My pay is topped up for 7 mos. after that I am taking an extra 12 weeks off where I only earn EI. My new partner is then taking the final 2 mos of parental and I will return to work full pay. I estimate the drop in my income this year will be $6000.
My ex said he spoke to a lawyer and was told that since this is a temporary change it doesn't count and he does not have to pay me more support next year.
I just don't think he is right about this.
Lastly, where does this leave us if we don't agree on what our income is? I have no interest in going to FRO or Court over $100/mos or whatever the change is.
Any ideas how to resolve this with him?
