Hey folks,
Looking for a little guidance as I'm trying to navigate my child getting older and going being away for university. I have two somewhat pretty straight forward questions regarding child support in this case.
1) What is the typical number of months that support is payable if a child is home during the summer. I would assume that 4 is the standard, but I the other parent inisisting that Thanksgiving, Christmas and reading weeks is at least an extra month of support.
2) If the child is enrolled in a full time in a 5 year co-op program with no reasonable chance of coming home durring the summer (with the exception of 1st year), I'm assuming that child support would not be payable if the child is away 12 months of the year? While trying to negotiate, I have the other parent insisting on 5 months of support throughout the entierty of their degree (6 hours away) and no termionation, which would require me to bring this back to court again.
I have done a fair bit of digging around and know that CS is payable when the child is home, but these details seem to be somewhat discretionary.
Appreciate anybodies experience.
Cheers,
