Ways to prevent abusing child support

We are still married.... Imagine if we did leave canada and you still had to pay?

So after these audits its found that the recepient actually spends more on the child than is covered by the CS.

Example. Parent A -payor and Parent B - recepient

A Pays $350 to B. So given B contributes $350 that is $700 per month

So now 15 year old boy
Clothes. $ 75 month. He is growing like crazy and wears out shoes fast
Food. $400 month he never stops eating
Phone. $50 month otherwise how does he contact you when he is late home
Entertainment $50 month. Movies, skiing etc
Portion of household expenses. $200. You need a home with a bedroom for him
School expense $40 month school trips supplies

And so on and so on.

So now Parent B actually spends more than CS. Does Parent A cough ip more money?

It is really impractical to suggest an audit of any kind.

-Ok and consider that the custodial parent should still pay 50% of that.
-Consider the tax and family benefits

In any case, maybe it does come up higher so lets see if the data backs up the guidelines?

At a certain point though what percentage of ssomebody's income are you gonna take at a maximum. Married parents are limited by the same total no matter what the expenses.

What about 39%ers or 25%ers they have all those expenses except clothing.

uh no I think it's the other way around

you can't afford to survive on your own unless you get France, or another socialist country, to support you.

Ironic isn't it?

You might find the following to be of interest - compare PQ to other province. Yes PQ needs a "sugar daddy"

The ex spouse doesn't do the audit, the government does it the same way they do tax audits.

I'd rather my tax $$ be spent on things that are more important matters than monitoring how someone spends c/s. I already live in the over-taxed-nanny-state -hell that is the gong-show we call Ontario. I'm not about to pay more in taxes simply to invade someone's privacy simply because they are a c/s recipient.
