Child Tax Benefit, does it offset Section 7?

They dont calculate those amounts. When you file your taxes you claim daycare and THAT benefit is what comes off. Do a mock tax return with her info (if you have an old return of hers enter the income info) and then enter the daycare amount and see the return then take the daycare amount out and see the return. The difference in those amounts is the tax benefit that comes off the total.

If her mother is providing a receipt to her then its claimed. If youre concerned about it then contact the cra snitch line to report her as failing to report income.
 
You are only required to pay a proportionate share of expenses for daycare required for her employment. If you were previously paying $250 for full-time care and it has been reduced to only before and after school care it is reasonable to expect a substantial reduction in daycare costs.

Extended daycare programs through the school cost an average of $11-14 for either before or after school care per child, so between 22-28$ per day for before and after school care.

Also remember to prorate the expenses to take into account summer, march break and xmas holidays where the kids are with the parents rather than in daycare.

Crunch the numbers and figure out how many days on average the kid should require care, whether EDP or a private daycare would be less. Either way, the cost should drop when no longer in full time care.

With a mock up return with her numbers, you should be able to figure out the actual out of pocket expense for care and determine your proportionate share of that.

Once you do that, yoi can decide if it is worth the time and money to seek a motion to change.
 
I guess I am at loss after reading this thread.
Imagine ex getting CS/SS, and on top of that gets about 6-7K per child each year (UCCB or whatever it is called).

She then spends about 10k a year per child on extra curriculum activities, and demands % of 10k a year that derives from NDI (from Divorce Mate). Let imagine for the sake of argument all expenses were agreed between parties. Would you need to pay % from 10k or % from 10-7 = 3k?
 
If post secondary fees are put under the child’s income tax return, for credits and tax deductions, are you allowed to ask for that to be admitted into court and see the child’s tax return? Would those deductions come off the net cost?

The deductions come off the net cost regardless of who claims them. Because the paying parent doesn't get the deductions wither way they are subtracted. It's normally done by the lawyer in divorcemate though so that's how it is calculated.
