I need some help determining a reasonable position on SS & CS
Here is the Scenario
Married for 3.5 years (42 months) (no prior relationship/cohabitation)
1 child of marriage aged 4 (free child care by city)
Wife worked abroad for about a year during marriage, prior to coming to Canada. did not work in Canada until separation.
Separated Oct 2011, husband paying Spousal & CS, has current arrears of about 3k in total.
Wife made multitude of false allegations causing repeated false arrests (eventually withdrawn by crown) of the husband which lead to an initial employer & doctor advised Short Term Disability leave, persistent poor performance at work due to stress & anxiety and eventual termination by the employer in early March 2013. there was a severance package of 5 months, the husband kept paying CS & SS via FRO until the package ran out in August 2013.
Additional Factors:
1- Husband worked at same job for 7 years and was trained in their niche applications developed in 1980s and needs significant retraining in order to be re-employable.
2- Wife 28 years old, holds a master's degree & a diploma in early childhood education, 11 months after separation (Sept 2012) she found a contract position at minimum wage but quit her job with in a week of the husband's termination
3- Next day from the husband's termination, wife calls his employer's receptionist "to make sure the husband was fired from job" the husband is informed by the receptionist and embarrassed.
4- during July 2013 the husband was communicating with his ex-boss to see if they would rehire him. the wife shows up at the employer's office and demands to talk to husband's ex-boss, she then spreads false rumors that husband is a bad man & is suing her for two billion dollars (whaaat?) the ex-boss told the husband that he will still be bugged by ex-wife and hence no rehiring
5- Husband may get EI before next court date.
what is a reasonable position on CS & SS at a settlement conference coming up in September? the settlement confernce is 60 minutes long!
