What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
My ex and I have been divorced for 2.5 years. She has custody of my two children. Her profession is running a daycare in her home with spots for up to 6 children.
While my children were younger, she claimed daycare expenses for my two children even though they stayed at home. Essentially they count as two heads in her daycare. By having my two children at home she is sacrificing potential income that would be gained by having two other clients.
That's all fine. But the problem is, now the children are in school (ages 7 and 5). Since spousal maintenance has ended, she is filing an order to modify the child support and is still claiming daycare expenses for my children who attend school.
That doesn't make sense and doesn't seem fair. If she had a regular job she would not be paying childcare expenses.
Can she do this?
