Well, I just got my full court order yesterday and already the issues are starting.
My question is: If my ex-wife's boyfriend takes a day off work to watch my kids, do I have to pay half his lost wages as child care?
I am on the hook for 50% of child care costs. The boyfriend makes $30/hr, so she is trying to ding me for half of $210 for a single day. The issues here are:
1) Do lost wages by a third party even count as child care costs?
2) If he actually charges her (on paper) the $30/hr he would be making at work, do I have to pay that amount? Is there some onus on her to find reasonably priced day care service?
3) If she tries to stick this on me, how do we resolve it?
