I have been trying to get my 2 children more for nearly a year due to a job change and better hours however now the ex and her lawyer are only making this about child support.
My agreement says I have joint custody. The agreement say I have the kids on a 2 week rotation: Sunday until 7pm. Wednesday and Thursday overnight. Following week is Wednesday overnight and then Friday-Saturday overnight.
When I changed jobs in April 2019 the ex allowed me 1 extra overnight Sunday (of my weekend). On all of my overnights I drive the kids to school (different city).
I am trying to prove I am over the 40% access however her lawyer disagrees. If it matters, she is also a teacher (makes over $40,000 more than me) at the kids school and the lawyer argues that while the kids are in school she is the primary contact and this time is counted as her time.
She is trying for full table amount child support. I countered with $0 each even if my lawyer says due to the large salary difference the court would likely use set off amount which would be in my favour. I only want my kids 50/50 however she is being vengeful and threatened if goes to court she would go for sole custody.
What are your thoughts? By my calculations I am over 40% by hours, days per month, days per year, overnights and lunches made for school. Her and her lawyer are now ignoring my letters since December.
Thanks
