Hello:
I currently share custody of my two daughters (7+9) with their father 50/50. Here are the details of this arrangement
I'm a sales person and I make $50,000. I own a home which has a basement apartment I get $1300/month from my tenant.
My ex owns his own insurance business and on his notice of assessment he reports $35000. His RRSP contribution from 2019 states that he can contribute $62000. His father bought him a home (an advance on his inheritance he claims) in 2018 and this has made it so he doesn't have to make a lot of money. His girlfriend moved in almost a year ago after selling her home contributes to his bills but doesn't work either.
In our agreement we stated that we both get the child tax benefit for one child but we made a private agreement that he would give me his half considering the circumstances of our finances. Until this past month he was giving me $576/mth. This past month however the government gave him notice that they are taking back his 2019 payments and will only give him $250 for the next 9 months. He tells me that he won't come out of pocket to pay me so he will now only give me $250.
I don't feel that this is fair but on paper I actually make more money than him. He is threatening if I take him to court he will stop paying me entirely (the $250 from the child tax benefit) and he tells me since I technically make more he will make me pay. Also he threatens that I will have to pay his court costs. I cannot afford a lawyer so I'll be representing myself.
I am thinking of applying for a recalculation of child support but I fear I might have to pay my ex.
Can anyone shed some light in regards to the legality of this scenario?
Does it matter that his father gave him advance on his inheritance and created a scenario where my ex only has to work minimally to meet his financial obligations?
Is this house considered excluded property?
Thank you in advance.
