Following partial minutes of settlement resolving parenting and certain support issues, the court conducted a trial to determine retroactive child support, retroactive and ongoing section 7 expenses, spousal support, property equalization, and entitlement to the child tax benefit.
The court accepted the applicant’s evidence regarding the historical residence of the children and ordered retroactive child support based on the respondent’s imputed income after he voluntarily left his employment.
The court also awarded retroactive section 7 expenses and directed the parties to share future extraordinary expenses equally.
Although entitlement to spousal support was established, no award was made due to the respondent’s child support obligations.
The court further ordered a modest equalization payment and granted a restraining order against the respondent.
