Do not expect justice, fairness, or equitable treatment
Further to my posts from ealier in the year.
I have now learned that my former spouse, who has the children for three nights a week, enjoys the following financial benefits:
$1500 / month from me in CS
$1000 / Month from me in SS
$960 / Month in Govt benefits
$1400 / Month from her part time employment
This is $4860 per month and on top of it all she only declares the SS and Employment Income for tax purposes. To make it even more fun, I cannot claim the children as dependents because I pay support for them even though they are with me more than 53% of each week.
Why? Because she chooses to work at a $15/hr job... Even though she has a University degree and a College diploma.
She just bought her third registered chihuahua for $1000. Even though she took the minivan free and clear in the asset split, she just bought a second car because she did'nt like driving the minivan to work.
This system is rotten, and it has to change.
Full visibility on spending on the children. Tax advantage to the payor of support. And a system that actually encourages the lower income parent to do SOMETHING to support their children other than sit back and suckle on the teat of injustice we call the Divorce Act.
