My partner and her ex had an agreement that she would collect the full CCTB amount for the children and use that money to pay for their full-time daycare expenses (over $1000 per month). He has never paid child support or S7 expenses so this was the best deal she could get.
However, now the ex has approached CRA and had the CCTB retroactively adjusted for shared custody for more than a year.
They have now told my partner that she owes them more than $4000 back. They assessed the ex and sent him around $2400 most of which he immediately spent on other things.
My partner has already spent this money on child care for more than a year. She has all of the receipts and cashed checks to prove it.
What should she do? They are separated more than a year, but have no agreement. There is potential for her to have a case conference soon but she is really loathe to spend any more money on lawyers.
Note: They do in fact have 50/50 shared, but she has paid 100% of the S7 expenses since separation.
