How are these calculated? Are they to be split 50/50? Do child tax benefits come into play for certain things like child care?
My boyfriend makes approx., $22,757 per year, while his ex wife makes $47,896 per year, she also receives $1009.95 per month in child tax benefits. She claims she spends $300 in child care costs per month, we have no issue paying our share, however, we beleive that only one child is at a babysitters, before & after school, while the other child stays with the ex's sister... this information came from the children, when his son mentioned another babysitters name and I asked him why he didn't go to the sitter that he had in the summer. He then proceeded to tell us that only he goes to the sitter because his sister goes to his Aunt's house to play with her cousins.
Anyways, the question is, can we request that all section 7 expenses be proportioned as to income? For child care, can we request to pay the sitter directly, and obtain a receipt to ensure that the kids are actually going to a sitter and not just to her sister's house? Is he able to claim child care expenses?
Seperate issue... medication/Benefits...
She has benefits, and I have both kids on my benefits, along with their father, however, my benefits follow the National Formulary Drug plan (basically no name drugs rather than brand name drugs), my plan will cover up to 100% for no name drugs, however, will only cover 60% of brand name drugs... can we request that any medication the children require, follow the National Formulary Drug plan? and any drugs she purchases that do not follow the National Formulary Drug plan, the amount that is not covered must be split proportional to income... also, are all medications covered under section 7 expenses? I thought I read somewhere on this forum about $100 and above is considered section 7?
Thanks!
