Separated for 4 years, agreement in place for more than 3. Agreement was done through lawyers and states that our 3 kids live "primarily" with me and that ex is to pay CS according to the tables.
In reality, the kids have lived nearly exclusively with me for the first 2 years following the agreement and have lived with her about 2 days a week for the last year. She has paid virtually no CS the entire time (except for a few hundred here and there) but she has generally paid for half of childcare and other child related expenses such as music lessons etc.
She now wants to reopen the separation agreement and change it so that either (a) she gets 50-50 and therefore is not required to pay CS (our incomes are about the same), or (b) have the agreement state that I wave the right to CS but that she continue to pay half of childcare etc.
I have never asked her to honour the current agreement in terms of CS but she is apparently concerned that someday I may change my mind about that.
Should I be worried?
