My ex has proposed that our SA states no child support, we just share in common expenses on a monthly basis. 3 kids living 50/50 with us. We are trying to complete a comprehensive agreement and finally get divorced, 7 years later.
We've been paying offset support to date. She has made more than me for two out the last three years, but minimally and she did not pay me child support (refused - it was only $40/month).
I expect that I will again make more than her for the remainder of raising our kids. There is potential that I make twice as much as her as I used to.
From this forum, agreeing to waive CS is presented as a bad idea.
Can we do this? It does not matter too much to me, but it would be nice to just be totally separate. We are both professionally employed and should be able to take care of ourselves and the kids.
Also for post secondary, I'd rather not have anything to do with my ex - I don't expect her to contribute much anyway. The more separate we are, the better.
If she took me to court later, would the agreement have any weight? What is the longest retro period I may be ordered to pay back CS?
