Has anyone heard anything about the sharing of a "net" daycare expense?
My husband consulted with a lawyer today with regards to the sharing of daycare expenses. [In a nutshell: The recipient wants my husband - the payor - to pay 100% of daycare costs during his court-ordered access days, plus provide his proportionate share of all other daycare expenses.]
The family lawyer my husband consulted with at FLIC told him that he should be responsible only for his proportionate share of NET daycare expenses; more specifically, the expenses that remain once subsidies, tax refunds, and Universal Child Care Benefit monies have been exhausted.
Makes perfect sense, right?
Well, I looked up the Family Law Act and found out that although subsidies and tax refunds must be taken into account when determining daycare expenses, the Universal Child Care Benefit shall not be taken into account.
Does anyone know why that is?
Or better yet, why would a family lawyer give information/advice that is not consistent with the Family Law Act?
Any info you may have about NET daycare expenses would be much appreciated!
