Asking on behalf of a friend...
Mom fought long and hard to get subsidized daycare spots for two kids. Both her and ex husband make low income, and thus the subsidy will help cover the daycare expenses so that they can go to work and live.
They have 50/50 shared custody. The subsidy office thus has 2 files, one for each of them. Each parent and the amount of their subsidy is tracked separately. On her weeks, she gets the bill for her share, and same on his weeks.
Sounds pretty awesome and fair. So far.
Now, we received notice of two things.
1. He has refused to cooperate with the subsidy office, accept the subsidy or sign the paperwork to receive the discounted/free daycare.
2. He has given notice that he wants to move in with his new girlfriend. Based on what we've heard this may disqualify him from subsidy anyways.
So here's my question.
The mom lives on low income and qualifies for full subsidy on her weeks so she can go to work to pay her rent and bills. If the Dad does not qualify or cooperate with subsidy office, and he must pay the full daycare cost on his weeks, can he turn around submit those costs to the Mom as a section 7 childcare expense and force her to pay anyways?
