    Hi Judi,

    Simon is pretty spot on with his advise.I am a project manager for a large well known kitchen company.

    The option of replacing doors and bechtops is a good one especially if the insides of the cabinets are still in reasonable condition.

    My advice would also to be to go for a melamine or laminate doors with the 2mm PVC edging especially if its for a rental property as it is about the hardest wearing and still pretty easy to keep clean.

    I would avoid using a “vinyl wrapped” door as 90% of our warranty work is for this type of door, where the vinyl starts to lift off.

    Shop around because there are huge price differences between different companies for virtually the same product. Even the larger companies sometimes get their benchtops or doors from the smaller manufacturers. Our company buys in the benchtops rather than making their own.

    Hope this has helped a little.

    Rooney.

    Thanks for the advice Mopsy, but my aim isn’t to get out of my obligations to pay child support but to keep the amount that I have to pay to a fair and reasonable amount.

    Hey Shushar,
    I can see where your coming from and understand your point of view.
    My ex wife knows about my property and has even tried to help me with the situation as I’m not trying to get out of paying her anything.
    We were actually trying to work out an agreement between us where I would be paying more than I should for my taxable income but less than what the CSA says I should pay because of the rent that I recieve which is negativly geared, but because my ex wife chooses not to work and is on a single parent pension centrelink have told her that if she agrees to accept less money from me they will reduce her pension by the same amount.
    So the short of it all is that even thought we are on good terms and she can see that what is happening isn’t fair we cant come to an agreement for “our situation” between us because someone in an office who has never met either of us tells us we cant do it!

    Thanks everyone who has replied.

    I will probably talk to my accountant to see if anything can be done eg putting it as a trust.

    If not i think I will just have to treat it as a learning expierience, and any further IP’s will have to go entirely in my new wife’s name.
