if he gets a big bonus each year, that is part of his income, why would you not include it? It is supposed to be reflective of income. Generally people use line 150, which is all income that is taxable. Nontaxable income is grossed up and added to the line 150, if that applies to your situation.

Use that site and the free option. Put in your line 150 and when asks about kids the arrangement is "shared".

Turns out his bonus last year was $14,000.(about $12,000 more than I guessed it would be....). So I agreed previously that we would not include bonuses as part of our income for support purposes (him knowing at the time it was worth $14,000). He is making quite a bit more money than I am and we have 3 children. Something about this doesn't seem right. Is there anything I could/should do here?

His income property will definitely be a challenge as he can claim deductions on his taxes which reduce his income for tax purposes but they arent included for cs purposes. I suggest you look at canlii and search “property income” and “child support” to see how it was calculated. I saw one case on there yesterday in my own search on a different topic related to cs.
If he balks at including it, remind him cs is the right of the child and the children should get the benefit of his additional income as they would if you weren’t divorced.
