Ok so my ex is out for blood and thinks that I am ripping him off in regards to his share of daycare costs. He has a lawyer on my butt and is saying that I owe him money.
Apparently, as I have been told by his lawyer, he is only required to pay the net cost of daycare fees. What the heck does this mean? We have a separation agreement that states he is to pay 65% of daycare costs. I am very confused by all of this. He is saying that he has over paid for 3 yrs and is demanding that I provide my income tax return documents with attachments. I wasn't aware that he could do this since he clearly agreed to 65% of the costs. The agreement doesn't say anything about those costs being net or gross. I always provide him with receipts so I am not hiding anything from him. Our agreement was drawn up by a mediator and was reviewed by each of our lawyers back in 2006.
So if he is able to go back and demand re-payment for what is supposedly his over payment to me, does that mean I can have him make retro child support payments? I have asked for his income info in the past and got the run around. I just left it alone because it wasn't worth the hassle.
Also, it is my understanding that he is to follow the current agreement until the amendment is agreed to and signed. He has refused to pay his share of the $1293.00 summer camp bill I had to pay to secure care for our daughter. This will be the second year that she attends camp for child care purposes.
He has made it increasingly difficult to correspond with him. He doesn't return phone calls or e-mails. The only thing he will say is "forward it to my lawyer". I did that and got chastized by his lawyer for bothering her with irrelevent paper work and accused of trying to create a large expense for her client.
And before anyone mentions it, a lawyer is a luxury I can't afford & I make too much to qualify for legal aid. If someone could clear this up I would be greatful. Atleast I would know what is fair and just when I correspond with his lawyer.
Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated
