Hello, all!!
Just a couple of quick questions that perhaps someone out there could provide some input or direction.
My ex is military. We have been separated for 3+ years. I have custody of our 2 young children and he sees them alternate weekends/holidays when his hectic work schedule can allow it. We have an excellent relationship, the kids have a tight bond with their dad, and I hate to rock the boat, if you know what I mean, but......... I'm just barely making it financially. I work full time, but only make $25k/year. Child support of $700/month is faithfully paid. He pays 2/3 of childcare/extra curricular actitivies. But I live pay cheque to pay cheque...barely.
When he goes on tour he makes an extra $30k approx. over and above his regular pay ($50k). And that extra UN/NATO pay is tax free and is not on his tax return. He also makes another $500/month tax free from Veterans Affairs for a disability pension.
Can that extra pay that he makes be included in his gross annual income when calculating child support? How do I get proof in income from him as that money does not show on his tax return?
He is getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan for a 2nd tour this summer, but I'm undecided if I want to go ahead and see if I can receive more childsupport for fear of upsetting the "balance".
Thanx!!!
