Husband Gets Caught, Flies The Coup / Give & Take Begins..
I'm Third Party, Not Even a Fly on the Wall.. Husband gets Caught , Flies The Coop (Can't say Abandons because that term is Interpretated differently).. He has not given any Financial Support except for maybe twice at Christmas Time to Buy a couple Presents and that was like Pulling Hen's Teeth since He left 4 yrs ago.. Wife was a Stay @ Home Mother back then, But has now Re Entered the Workforce to Support her now Teenage Children and Herself.. The Cost of a Lawyer or even having Papers Served is rather prohibitive considering Survival otherwise.. Husband & Wife do contact each other every so often , Once the Dust settles some attempt to bring Closer. Is made... Lately Husband has agreed to File for Divorce and has obtained the Services of a Local Lawyer... Husband lives out somewhere on the Left Coast (Canadian Law btw) He has taken up with Another Woman and has Fathered 2 Children by this Woman.. My Question as the Beginning of the Back & Forth / Give & Take has begun.. Husband has pulled an Unrealistic amount for Monthly Support for Two Children out of his Hat.. Wife has asked for Retroactive Child Support, Wife has done some research and found that the average Child Support payments are 3 times what he has offered.. Now this is where I believe Husband is Blowing Smoke.. Through his Lawyer " If Wife Pushes for Retroactive Child Support Payments, He'll Sue for Spousal Support".. Can He?
