Just got back from the lawyer. The good news is that child support will
be based on Total Income (line 150 of income tax filing in Canada) not
gross income as I had feared, so that allows for business losses and
rental income expenses. That's a relief.

But the ex has filed a motion for ALL my financial records for the last
six months including bank records and credit cards and I will have to
give it to her. Which is basically a diary of my life. I know they want
to make sure I'm not hiding income (I'm not that dishonest, but I sure
as heck can see why guys would want to do it!) but I still think this
is a huge invasion of privacy.

The reason we divorced is that we no longer want to share the intimate
details of our lives and these are most definitely the intimate
details. Looking at my banking statement you can pretty much write a
diary of my life. As it is I don't think I'll have to answer to her for
anything, but I'm still hugely offended that I'm *forced* to reveal my
personal life to her.

Geez, can you imagine the unfortunate dude who has "1-900-SexFest" on
his VISA bill? How about the billing from Dr. Watson, the local expert
for penile enhancement? What if every other payment was to Liquors R
Us?

I will feel quite vindicated when she realizes that not only have I not
been hiding income, I've actually borrowed money to pay her child
support this year and I'm already paying her more than my income
justifies.

The good news is I can ask for the very same financial info from her.
So, at the risk of ticking her off, that's what I'll do. If it's good
for the goose, it's good for the gander and I think it's fitting that
she experience the wonderous discomfort of revealing her personal life
to me too. Just a tiny bit of revenge is a good thing, yes? lol.

Note to self: Cancel vacation to Honolulu. lol

Maybe not revenge -- call it education?

;-))

Gives her an opportunity to know what it feels like to be on the hot
seat!

Yup :-) 'specially since the lawyer says she can request this info
*every year* as long as cs lasts. Which could be another ten years for
me if the kid's drag through college.

Hmm... good thing I buy my street drugs with cash ;-)

Be sure to check her bank statements for unusual activity and her
CC statements for unusal purchases, like at Victoria's Secret. :-)
