The claimant, residing in Michigan with a child born out of wedlock, sought child support from the respondent residing in Ontario under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, 2002.
The respondent acknowledged paternity and his obligation to pay support.
The court determined that entitlement to support was governed by Michigan law (the Paternity Act), while the quantum of support was determined under Ontario law.
The court established a retroactive start date for support based on Michigan legislation and calculated monthly support payments using Ontario child support guidelines.
