The applicant mother sought ongoing and retroactive child support.
The respondent father claimed he had the children for at least 40 per cent of the time during a two-year period, entitling him to a shared custody adjustment under section 9 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines, and resulting in an alleged overpayment.
The court found the father failed to meet the 40 per cent threshold, relying on the mother's contemporaneous access records over the father's reconstructed calendars.
The court ordered the father to pay ongoing child support of $1,595 per month and retroactive child support arrears of $25,464.
