Hi everyone,
I'm new to this board and am looking for information on how to calculate/determine the amount used as income when someone is self-employed.
My ex is a consultant and up until earlier this year everything he said he was making was being put into our joint account where all our personal and his business expenses went through.
We have two kids who have been living with me and have not spent any time with their father. He's either busy travelling or he's just to busy for them. The few times the kids did go to spend time with him; he would just leave them home alone and not return until after they are in bed.
He hasn't paid any child support or contributed to any of their expenses at all.
I make approx 80k before tax and when I look at the joint account over the past 3 years I can see he made deposits of 150k, 100k and 120k (2015, 2016 and 2017).
That being said he may have other bank accounts with other deposits coming in. He has not filed any personal or business taxes in 10 years and only recently CRA has begun calling him to do so.
Obviously he will argue his expenses are high and thus profit will be very minimal. But will Child Support be based on his profit? or would it be based on something else?
What resources should I look to for further information?
Thank you
