Wondering if you may be able to give me some advise regarding post secondary education support.
I am divorced and am paying $1212.00 / month for child support for 3 children. (boy 18yrs, girl 17yrs, boy 15yrs) I also pay all the hockey fees, registrations ect.. for my 2 boy plus an extra $150.00 / month for my 2 boys extra ordinary expenses for hockey. The $150.00 is to be re-visited if one or both of the boys stops playing rep hockey.
My 18yr old is entering college for the first time this September and living at residence at the college and is no longer playing rep hockey.
My ex and I have had a string of emails back and forth regarding the costs. I have seen the receipts and applications and agree with the amounts.
Below is the latest email from me to my ex, followed by a response from my ex stating she will be contacting her lawyer.
Commencing September 1, 2009 I will be reducing the child support payment that represents my son's portion by 8/12ths to reflect the fact that my son will be living away 8 months of the year.
In addition I will be reducing the monthly payments of $150.00 for my two boy's hockey expenses to $75.00 per month to reflect that my oldest boy's involvement has changed and is no longer playing representative hockey.
One child’s portion of monthly child support is $404.00. This amount added with $75.00 from my oldest son's hockey expense payments amounts to $479.00 / month of cheques that you already have in your possession for the balance of 2009 (September – December 2009).
Please advise for the remaining 4 months of 2009 if you prefer to return the cheques and I can make the adjustments and re-issue them to you and I will pay my son direct, or keep the existing cheques and forward the money to our son on my behalf.
The following will be my payment schedule to our son for his first year of college:
September 1, 2009 - $479.00
October 1, 2009 - $479.00
November 1, 2009 - $479.00
December 1, 2009 - $479.00
January 1, 2010 - $406.06
February 1, 2010 - $406.06
March 1, 2010 - $406.06
April 1, 2010 - $406.06
Total support $3540.24, which represents 77% of the left over balance as pre-determined.
"Figured you'd say that. I will forward this to my lawyer and get back to you."
What can I expect from my ex's lawyer, and am I on the right track with my proposal?
