Ex wife is requesting a 4 way meeting. I received a letter from her lawyer today.
She is frustrated that I am not paying my share of the kids section 7 expenses (sports)
I have never been notified of said sports other than the hockey to which I have not agreed to in the first place.
My ex wife got a $1 million settlement last year. Gets $19,200 for cs and $1500 a mo for social services. Her settlement is on line 150 of her income taxes. Does that not come into play here? How is a $100 registration for let's say soccer be extra ordinary to someone with her financial means?
I don't feel comfortable with a 4 way meeting. I think it is a way to bully me into what she wants. She is frustrated I am utilizing my weekend access with the kids and interfering with my sons hockey obligations that I had never consented to.
I can not commit my weekends to travelling for hockey both days the only time I see my kids especially when I am always on call for work. There are 3 other children to spend time with as well...I won't go into that topic anymore as I have explained my stance so many times it's exhausting.
How should I handle this?
I would consider a flat $1000 per kid per year for sports and equip. Paying my share once I have been given proof of registration and a receipt. $1000 is the max amount per year per kid so if they don't get registered into something then I am not about to pay a monthly fee as she suggests.
I feel I am being bullied into what she wants. Could use some advise how to proceed.
I can't even say I am willing to compromise as I have no indication how many sports or what sports she has enrolled kids over the years because she never tells me. I find out from the kids they are in this they are in that. I don't question it as they don't seem to be "extra-ordinary"
The flat rate of $1000 per kid should hopefully remedy the need for this constant battle.
Any other suggestions?
She also wants to reduce my visitation to if I am not here the whole duration of the visit they do not come. How do you compromise that when I am on an on call basis with work?
