Thanks Rioe. It is acceptable if income doesnt fluctuate. And he thought he was ok until his company suddenly cut half their local staff. Two weeks prior they were promising a permanent position. If that had been the case he would have had no problem. But $24000 a year is very different than $60000 a year. The lawyer said line 150 is standard but the law is the law. Which is why they had the clause to increase support based on income if he found work in 2012 (which he did). The ex doesnt like any instance where he doesnt pay what she feels hes supposed to-regardless of what the law or a judge or their agreement says.
Its not a wash in the end. Right now its $360 versus $900. And on $1600 a month, thats a big impact. Added to that, if hes working next year, instead of 20% for post secondary, it will be probably 40%.
She'd never consent to anything that didnt work in her favour. This is a person who still feels he shouldnt have gotten equalization.
Ive told him the longer she takes to cash cheques, the worse it will be for her to claim "broke" if it goes to court.
