I'm in the final stages of completing a final seperation agreement with my ex. We were married for 13.5 years and have 2 children together. I fought for full custody but after hitting so many brick walls and spending thousands of dollars i had to quit or end up in a huge financial hole.
At this point my ex is receiving $1100 / month child support and $750 / month spousal support. I can see my girls 3 weekends per month but I can ask to see them every weekend so in many ways i have been lucky. Sadly this is to give her a break and isn't from the kindness of her heart.
My question at this point is that we've been seperated since July 2011 and since that time my ex has made NO attempt at all to find work and become Self-sufficient... of course she doesn't really need to because she's getting a nice paycheque each month from ME!
My lawyer is telling me that and i quote "according to the law, you can't bring a review unless there's a material change in circumstance. She has the obligation to be self supporting, but you can't just bring the matter back to court without cause."
So how is the enfoced? and has anyone been in a similar situation? Surely i should be able to ask for a review at some point??
The law just gives people like her an easy ride and sadly those of us fathers who do the right thing get treated like scum. Sad!
Any advice is most welcomed?
