So here is the quick summary....
Ex has the children most of the time - I only have EOW visits. Ex has been common-law with new partner for roughly 6 years.
It appears that the "usual" guideline for when a child goes to post secondary out of town is....
-child responsible for 33% of costs
-remaining 67% split between the two parents proportionate to their incomes
-"income" includes the recipient's spousal support.
-normal child support stops when the child is out of town at school
Question: IF my ex and the common law spouse split up, my understanding is that there is a good chance the ex could go after child support (in addition to my payments of CS) due to the "in loco parentis" guideline. I know it's not a slam dunk but it doesn't seem to take much to initiate it.
So, using that logic, even if they stay together, does the common - law spouse's income come into play (ie. added to my ex spouse's income) for working out the proportion of post secondary section 7 expenses I need to pay ?
Thanks for any feedback in advance......
