Hi everybody I am looking for some feedback. In 2019 after separation my child support payments were based on my 2018 income of $62 000, and I was paying child support $579 to date on an interim basis,and we haven't gone to trial yet.
Over the years my ex never seeked to change child support payments as my income increased; I have 2 jobs, fulltime income is $54000, and casual employment varied depending on the number of shifts I pick up. Last year's total income was $80 000, and my ex has brought forward a motion 14B asking for child support to increased based on $80 000.
I anticipate my income for this year will be less because I will be doing a 4 month unpaid school placement , I am of the opinion that if the increase is based on $80 000 I will face financial hardship this year and I anticipate my ex won't cooperate next year when it comes time to change child support.
What are your opinions? I am agreeable to paying the child support arrears now and next year if I am in arrears will pay for those arrears.
