Application under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, 2002 to change a child support order originally made by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta on July 31, 2008.
The respondent sought to reduce his child support obligations based on changed financial circumstances.
The court recalculated arrears for each year from 2008 to 2012, adjusting the respondent's imputed income based on actual tax assessments and pension receipts.
The court found total arrears of $65,282 as of June 30, 2012, but exercised discretion to fix arrears at $40,000 due to the respondent's financial circumstances.
The respondent was ordered to pay $359 per month in child support going forward based on an imputed income of $45,000, and to pay the applicant's costs of $1,250.
