A judge will "likely" order you to contribute your proportinate split based on your income.

You state he's been playing for many years at the AAA level so there is status-quo and if he's 16 and playing AAA he's probably very good at it.

I'm guessing the yearly cost is probably around $4,000 - $5,000 if you are in or around the GTA area. You'd likely be ordered to pay towards, registration, team fees, equipment. You probably won't be on the hook for hotel costs if your ex is the one who takes your son to tournaments, etc ...
 
so how much does a divorce cost

so how much does a divorce cost

will be moving out of matrimonial home in two weeks. we have been separated since 2010.when and how and where do you get a divorce? Iam jewish so is a get all I need know? and do I have to rush to get a divorce?
 
my ex says its around 10000. so is it based on salary what I would owe

if that is the price and for example of you pays are equal then you'd pay half. If your pay was more than you'd pay if your pay is less then you pay less. What ever the % is the difference in incomes. That is my understanding anyway. So for the sake of aguement if your pays are equal then asking for 500 a month the expences for hockey would have to be 1000.00 a month.
 
A competitive elite sport like aaa hockey is considered an extraordinary expense and the cost is split between the parents in proportion to their income.

The costs would normally include registration, team assessments, equipment, extra training etc.

Travel costs and tournament costs should also be split - as it is part of the sport and intrinsic to the activity.

If the child travels alone to away games/tournaments where there are direct costs - the expense should be split.

If there are multiple tournaments - you might want to try to split who takes him. You pay for when you take him, and your ex pays when they take him.
 
I think the 'get' is only for your synagogue to acknowledge the divorce. You still need a legal divorce through the Cdn court system. If you don't do that you just remain 'separated', but divorce is needed if you want to get remarried.

Example of splitting costs based on income: If you earn 50K and your ex earns 100K, then that is a 1:2 ratio. So you pay in a 1:2 ratio i.e. if the cost is $1000, then you pay $333 (i.e. 1/3) and your ex pays $667 (i.e. 2/3).
