This is what I do. My ex and I share care of our kids, he only works two days a week so I have to pay him child support. I let him pay for most of the kids stuff.

I begrudge POS that dodge paying tax! 😡

Or another thought ......
It's more that the ex is working cash in hand, which is not counted in his income affecting the amount of child support payable.
Also the amount of tax he pays on his declared income. If he does a lot of 'cash in hand', he might / could be claiming heaps of extra payments from Centrelink, like rent assistance, health care cards etc

But it didn’t bother you when he was doing this and you were together. ..., why didn’t you report him then. .... pot .... kettle.

She said he was capable of cashies, not that he actually did cashies. Maybe he did cashies to hid money from his wife &/or family.

Be honest. Its not about dodging tax, or you'd have written that in your original post.
Who cares, op, its money for your kid. End of story.

And how does she know he’s capable? Because she has seen him do it before. .,,, didn’t seem to be a issue back then

She’s just narky now cos it’s affecting her pocket now

Ok moving on..you made your point. Time to get dinner going and spend time with your kids

^ Y'all need to be on your way

Dinner is done I’ve spent all day with them. Actually the last 6 months in lockdown with them 24/7. They are fed we’ve cuddled and are all in bed. I’m good to go

^ sweet dreams to you and the fam ❤

I'm sorry but I have to agree with this. It costs a lot more to raise a kid than what you would have to pay in child support, and that extra money he is making would be going back to your kids as well so what's the problem? If you don't like it try having an adult conversation with him about maybe paying less or making it up in other ways. Be thankful its not the opposite way around. I know for a fact my ex works cash and uses centrelink to pay for child support which means I get a measly $16 a fortnight while he is living it up, and he hasn't seen them in over 3 years so he sure as hell isn't paying for them in any other way. Be thankful your kids have a parent who is trying to do the best they can.

As long as things worked for you and the decision was one you all were OK with! Children are expensive these days

It worked for and the kids they no longer had to have broken shoes taped up so they could wear them.

He’s taking responsibility for his kids and so are you - it’s nice of you to consider his position though. It’s good when the parents are reasonable adults to each other!
