Ex is self-employed and recieves understated non employee compensation from his fiance.

My ex lives with his fiance and they each have corporations, but it’s the same business. She is the President of the “Consulting” company and he is the President of his company which is a contracting company where he is the contractor. The fiance’s company, which is really their company, pays him as an independent contractor, non employee compensation. Now, all she has to do is pay him minimum wage so he can claim as little as possible on his tax return and therefore, cheat me on child support. And since they live together and all income to “her” company is used for the “household” and to live on, he can make all the money but only be compensated for a small portion by her consulting company. My question is, how do I expose this understated income when I go to modify child support? He did this the last time he modified and I got very little. For instance, they brought in at least 200k, but his tax return only showed about 25k. Which is interesting when his total on the monthly expense form he filled out was $4,500. And what about when they get married? How does it work when the new spouse is the employer of the person who owes support so can manipulate the numbers?

the reservation of B&B of Toronto

Posted on : 18-08-2010 | By : Legal Information | In : Business Law, Contract Law, Legal Questions

In July 28, I booked a reservation in a B&B of Toronto for 8/15 and 8/16 (two nights). However I haven’t receive any confirmation e-mail or anything, so I assumed that my requirement was ignored (the accidence which just happened when I was in Quebec city) and I decided to live in my friends house. However, in Aug 15 they told me that the room I booked is saved for me and it’s too late for cancellation. They sent me an e-mail with the proof that they have sent me a confirmation e-mail and it may went into my junk file. Therefore, they asked for the pay of cost and required my credit card number. Would it be illegal if I just ignore them and refuse to pay?

Who owns my company? I own a small S corporation

I own a small S corporation. A few years ago I offered a co worker half of my company as part of a partnership agreement. No contracts were signed, we had a few email exchanges about the terms. I finally wrote him an email offer with the terms he wanted. He never replied to that. However, we moved forward as if we were both partners. I split the company profit evenly between the two of us and reported to the IRS that we were both 50/50 owners. Shortly after we started working together one of or projects went bad and we were at risk of getting sued. I offered to formalize our agreement by signing over the shares of stock that would represent his half of the ownership. He declined my offer. Things have improved, we are not getting sued and we are profitable. However, they are not great. My question is, who owns my company?

I put 600.00 down on a vehicle (6/1/10) for my down payment (which is 1300.00) and to hold it. I look on my receipt the other day and seen she had hand written ‘non refundable’ on my receipt. i suppose to be bringing the rest (700.00) on the 26th. If they look at my check stubs or something (cause they hadn’t did that yet) and decide not to give me the vehicle. Do they still have the right to keep my 600.00. cause yes they held it for me but what if they hold it for me then deny me? do they get to keep my money
