Following a trial that resulted in a shared parenting arrangement, the parties could not agree on the quantum of ongoing child support.
The respondent argued for a strict set-off amount of $715 per month based on their respective incomes.
The applicant sought a higher amount due to the disparity in their incomes and her modest expenses.
Applying section 9 of the Child Support Guidelines and the Contino framework, the court found the set-off amount inappropriate given the significant disparity in the parties' incomes and monthly expenses.
The respondent was ordered to pay $1,000 per month in child support.
