My ex and I are separated and we have signed off on our Agreement. We are in some disagreement over contributions to childcare as this was not spelled out clearly enough in the SA.
A new questions has come up with regards to Child Support. We have two kids - 9 and 3 and we share joint custody 50/50. Our agreement states that "the parties hereto waive any right to child support at this time" "In lieu of child support we will split the cost of extra curricular with wife contributing 55% and husband 45%. For daycare we will "mutually agree to the cost of child care and the division of payment for the child care."
I have written in another thread and received some answers in regards to a stalemate of my ex now saying she will only pay 50/50 for daycare because we share joint custody.
My new question - Can I reopen the clause of waiving child support?
What would it take at this point to have child support be applied according to the tables? Is this something we have to go to court over? Is it even possible for parents to waive child support as it is for the child?
Our incomes are 90 000 mine 130 000 hers.
Is it true that when we file for a divorce, that the courts won't accept a difference in salaries without some equal "weighting" of burden for childcare?
One lawyer drafted everything and then I received indep legal advice. The legal advice never pointed any of this out...what it amounted to is - here is what the agreement says..are you okay with this..okay sign here. If it makes a difference it was the father of the lawyer that drafted our agreement.
The final statement in our agreement states that it has been agreed that the children shall be residing with each for more then 40% of the time and as such no child support shall be owing until such time as this arrangement ceases to be the case.
Any feedback, help or suggestions is most appreciated.
Thanks!
