Child support based on full line 150 income; bonus included and undue hardship rejected.
The applicant brought a motion for retroactive and ongoing child support and interim spousal support following separation after a 13‑year marriage with one child.
The respondent argued child support should be calculated only on base salary because his employment bonus was uncertain and claimed undue hardship due to supporting his sponsored mother.
The court held that child support is presumptively based on line 150 income and rejected the undue hardship claim, finding the respondent had consistently received bonuses and failed to prove exceptional hardship.
Retroactive child support was awarded applying the principles in D.B.S. v. S.R.G., along with ongoing table support based on prior year income.
Interim spousal support was also ordered, with the court relying on the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines as a non‑binding tool and considering the income disparity between the parties.
