My partner recently informed his ex that he would be reducing his child support payments to the table amount based on his notice of assessment which he received this past month.
Her response was that she would file with the FRO. Their separation agreement is not currently filed with the court but it does stipulate he will pay $1,500 monthly regardless of his income (unfortunately, he is currently unemployed).
At the same time, he has filed with the court to have the separation agreement set aside, either in part or in its entirety. Big mess but basically, he signed the agreement without legal advice and under threat from her.
Please note she makes twice as much money as he does and up until now he has paid half of all expenses including the expensive live-in nanny so his actual payments have been closer to $3k a month. His lawyer is confident that the financial terms of the SA will be set aside for more reasonable conditions considering it is very biased in her favour (even her lawyer acknowledged that).
I guess my question is, considering the separation agreement is currently under debate in court, is it possible for her to file the agreement anyway and get FRO involved?
