  • Child Support and one kids reachoing 18yrs

    I need some help based on your experience with my situation

    12 yrs ago when I separated on my separation agreement the child support amount was not based on the tables, we agreed to a fixed amount, for our both kids.

    3 years ago my oldest son moved in with me and I continued paying child Full support, he is turning 18 yrs old this summer.

    I've discussed via txt message with her mom on paying only 50% of the child support due the oldest reaching 18 yrs old. And mom is not cooperating for son university cost even when she agreed to in the agreement.

    What do I have to do in order to reduce the child support payment to 50% to pay for only one son?

    You will need to do several things.

    First you need to figure out the proper amount of cs for the past three years based on your income for those years.

    Next you need to file a motion to change your agreement. The changes you are looking for are updated cs amounts and post secondary expenses.

    From there you can make an offer to settle for what you might be willing to accept but dont count on it.

    Your motion is needed to update cs because if you are in a province with an enforcement agency she can file the agreement to be enforced.

    The motion will also help recover her portion of the costs for school.

        Giving the fact we are already divorced and many of the terms are no longer working, can be this done with a new separation agreement?

            You arent filing a new agreement. You are filing for a change to that agreement. It doesnt matter what the rest of it says, the money part is obviously the only part that needs updating since the kids are old enough to make their own decisions.

            If you agree to a new amount and the school expenses then you can file a consent motion. Best to see what she wants to do (put an offer out) and go from there. If she refuses then you file a motion to change.

              I think the best way is going to be filing a Consent of Motion to Change Child Support Form 15D

                      I know if I ask her to pay her share is going to become a huge battle, she doesn't want to pay her share and I'm mentally ready to bite the bullet at the end out peace comes with a price.

                        what about you having overpaid the past 3 years for your son ? I understand you paid CS to your ex while he was living with you ?
