The applicant sought temporary child support and contribution to section 7 expenses, while the respondent sought parenting-related relief including a 50/50 parenting schedule.
The court considered whether income should be imputed to the respondent, who reported no current income while serving as CEO of a biotechnology company without salary.
Applying s. 19 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines, the court determined that despite the absence of reported income, the respondent maintained a high standard of living and income should therefore be imputed based on his expenses.
Income was imputed at $123,000 annually and guideline child support was ordered accordingly.
The court declined to order contribution to section 7 expenses due to insufficient evidence and maintained the existing parenting schedule pending further discussion at a settlement conference.
