Hello,
We are still working on our agreement however my lawyer looked at my income vs my x's income and her calculations indicated a number higher than only looking at line 150 due to sp. Expenses and carrying charges.
X does not have a lawyer and insists that he will only and should only pay CS based on line 150. Since June, I have been sending letters asking to send proper amount however X still email transfers what he thinks he should pay and I decline every time. Six mths have gone by and while the difference is merely $40 per mth, I am inclined to start accepting his amount as I do need the money and don't want to appear uncooperative.
My lawyer suggests I write him to say that without prejudice, I will accept his amount even though it is not the correct amount as per CS guidelines. It's not the increase of funds I'm fighting for but the simple principle. I feel like I've spent a lot of money getting lawyer to write him letters that he ignores (sent him detailed receipts as per his request) without any success.
Lawyer says amount overall is not enough to file a motion/ wouldn't be worth it unless I outlined a number of other items. My concern is what he says goes and that next year and yrs after, he will only pay amount based on line 150 of income tx return of which my lawyer says is only a starting point.
Should I simply accept what he's willing to pay? He's got me cornered.
