CRA has recently rejected my claim for an eligible dependant. I have joint and shared custody of my children. My separation agreement clearly states the agreement of who will claim each dependant. My seperation agreement states that child support is based on Federal & Provincial Child Support Guidelines.
CRA is well aware of both of the incomes as it pertains to the agreement however despite numerous lawyers reviewing our agreement, CRA has decided to take things into their own hands and reject the fact that the amount that I pay is based on the child support guidelines.
I have already appealed this decision and once again been rejected. My next course of action if to go to court to get this overruuled. The issue seems to be that my agreement does not clearly indicate (for Canada Revenue's purposes) that my ex pays me for child support and hence I pay the offset.
Could someone please help me with the exact phrases re: child support that should appear in an agreement that CRA wouldn't have an issue with. I'm completely perplexed how lawyers use this canned software to create an agreement and CRA rejects it when any legal expert can see that it refers to table and how the amount is determined.
