Since I can't afford a lawyer...I really need some help here on what to do next.
A little background...marriage lasted two years, no kids, she was on social assistance when we married and she did not work during or after the marriage. Everything has been split and has been acknowledged by her lawyer. The only thing we are really disputing is the spousal support.
I attended two mediated attempts to settle and during the first conference, an interim support order was decided by the judge. I was making 90K at the time and based on SSAG guidelines, support was granted for $400/month. About a month later, I lost my management position in the auto sector. I have kept paying the 400 per month though. This June it will be one year at that amount. I did attain employment for 2 months at 45K/year, half of what I was making. But since it is in the auto field I have since ben waiting to be called back again. I have continued paying the 400/month.
Okay, now my question. According to the SSAG, my support should have been reduced to 200/month, but I have continued to pay 400/month. Also according to SSAG, I should only be required to pay for 2 years, since that was the duration of the marriage. Since I have been paying double the amount, I am hoping the duration will be reduced to one year. I would like to have that done by this June. There has been no contact by her lawyer since our last conference. How do I apply to have this interim order reviewed? What forms do I fill out?
I am so fed up with the system, I don't even care about the divorce itself any longer, but yet, I don't want to be stuck paying her indefinitely for a two year, childless marriage. Can someone please help???
