My twin daughters live with their mother. In the last 2 years, my share of in extraordinary expenses has been $5900 from sports, daycare, speech therapy, piano, and can you believe $469 in vet bills for the dog we had when we were married and now lives with her . All with out any receipts. When I ask for receipts she refuses and says she needs them at income tax time.
I asked her to set a budget but she refuses. I offered to pay $133 extra a month or $1600 a year and she says thats not enough.
Money is very very tight we me, but like a chump I've struggled to come up with $3600 even though I have no real proof of the expenses incurred or ability to claim them on my taxes. I still owe her, according to her anyways $2300. Ive been trying to get replacement stock certificates that I lost so I can sell them and pay her off as my cash flow sucks. They finally arrived on Tuesday, but on Saturday I was served with court papers. I want to do right by my daughters but I need to look out for myself too. Being served with the papers made me mad, but now that its going to the courts my position is I will pay the remaining amount owing in the next 2 weeks if she can provide me original receipts and an affidavit saying she never submitted these expenses to CCRA. If she cant do so I expect a return of funds. Is this reasonable? Do you think the courts will see things my way?
Thank you.
