I'm looking for some advice and opinions on the following situation. I'll start with some background.
Here's my dilemma. He has a duty to support his children. He has advance warning, to the best of my knowledge the only action he is taking is to "let me know" that he'll be making less and therefore will be sending less money. In all fairness, we can survive without receiving his CS. Things will definitely be tight but livable.
If my spouse were to lose his job, I would pick up the slack and we would continue to support his children from his previous marriage while he looked like hell for another job.
I don't trust my ex to tell me if he is really working or not, nor do I believe he would inform me of receiving new employment until he had to (or was caught).
Suggestions anyone?
- Divorced for 5 years
- 2 children 5.5 & 9
- Mom (me) CP with sole custody, remarried, bothy myself and my spouse have decent full time jobs
- Dad NCP every other weekend visitation, in common-law relationship, works (or worked) full time, new spouse is unemployed
- no spousal support only CS & daycare expenses are paid
- CS has not been increased in five years despite the annual review that is supposed to happen (and he's unionized - unlikely there hasn't been a wage increase)
