Went to trial in Nov. 2010
Judge ordered "Section 7 expenses shall be shared proportionate to income. The current ratio is 70.1% Respondent, and 29.9% Applicant. Based on the Section 7 and Child Support Guidlines, Respondent owes $1030.00 to the Applicant for the period of - 10 months......SDO to issue"
Two points later "Section 7 expenses shall be discussed between the parties. Neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent to such expenses. If they cannot agree, they shall attend mediation before any court proceedings"
I am the Respondent.
The Applicant asked for approx $3,300 in Section 7 expenses for the period in question. I did not disagree. During trial the judge agreed with all my numbers and calculations using the SSAG software, and awarded the amount of $1,030 as it took into consideration the tax rebates etc that she will get as the "primary" parent.
I did not recieve any reciepts for Dec 2010, Jan 2011 or Feb 2011, but based on the previous calculations, I saved $100 per month to cover the cost that I was expecting to pay.
I get a notice from FRO claiming that I owe over $700 in "arrears" of Section 7 expenses. I wasn't asked about the expenses nor was any of the process followed for discussion or mediation.
FRO says that they are just following the court order. I saw in the support guidlines that the amount should be net of deductions etc, but it does not say that in the court order.
Due to the situation we find ourselves in, the court has told us not to bring any more motions in this case because of the amount of time we have spent in court.
I currently have 50% of my net pay deducted now.
I was also under the impression that FRO could not become involved unless there was a specific amount to be paid every month. That is to say, they don't deal with percentages due to the "net" factor. Can anyone shed some light on that and offer any other advise?
