Just a question about chlid support arrears, o.k. my husbands ex was given his tax info on time, we offered help with paperwork and are trying to help her get child support changed (increased by the way) without actually doing the paperwork oursevles so she can learn how to do it (his income will go up substancially in the next few years). It was supposed to be done last july 1st. She gave us incomplete paperwork in September, and we asked for the rest of it and would she would get it back asap so support could change right away. Now she is threatening us with court, saying that my husband is a deadbeat who refuses to pay support for his kid, and the such. Now the question, will arrears be awarded if she takes us back to court? We have documentation that we are trying to help her fill out the forms (we even tried to go to mediation so they could do it) since the begining. Also, if she has been awarded OSAP as she went back to school, should they be notified of the increase? (it is a increase of over $200 a month) or am I just being a jerk to assume that not telling them is fraud? As an aside, we have put all of the 'arrears' aside, so she will be paid in full as soon as the paperwork is done. Also, does anyone know about asking for child support to be based on taxable income if a payor has more children than just the ones who have ordered support?

Thanks! We are not going to tell OSAP, we think it is great that she is getting more education, what we are afraid of is that she will wait until she is done and then come after us for 'arrears' to pay off her debt. Can this happen? We are paying the full support for what our current order reads and are fully expecting to pay all of the back pay. It is frustrating because she has been living o.k. with $200 less than what she is 'entitlied' with no complaints (we are lucky from some of you payors out there, I know) and has had no change in circumstances to have her cost of living go up, however, this is not the system, I know. As for the child support being equal among kids if our relationship fails, (which is completely backwards) is that really the way it works? I am shocked, which is something because I didn't think that I could be any more upset with the FL system...

If your court order indicates an amount for SS, that is all that I would pay.
The only time we voluntarily change a support order is for CS, then and only then will be automatically adjust without an order to reflect present earnings.
If the ex is not happy, (and this has happened in the past) she has taken us to court. @ which time we would explain why we adjusted and explained that we did not want to tie up precious court time for something so simple. We always include tax returns and T4's for the ex, but she likes the inside of a court room I think (shrugg??). The judges give her a warning not to return unless we ar fraudulent or in arrears. They cannot understand why she cannot except our documents without a court order.
As for your faith in the FL system, welcome to the real world of Canandian FL!!

The only reason that we are keeping the 'arrears' in a bank account is because we are with the FRO and are afraid to keep a balance in the account in case they mess up, which I have heard they can do. If we pay the cash to her, she will not acknowledge payment and same trouble. If anyone knows a way around this without paperwork, by all means we are open to it. (No spousal support, they never lived together) Child support will be changing every year over the next five years at least. if my husband gets a raise in the middle of the year and child support has already been changed for that year, if he discloses his raise and the order reads support can only change once a year, does this fall under material change in circumstance and warrant an increase or does it go by the previous years T4?

Once the year rolls over then you are required to pay relative to the new years income and so one.
