The applicant brought a motion for interim child and spousal support following separation.
The primary dispute concerned the income to be imputed to the respondent, who controlled a jointly owned Tim Horton's franchise.
The respondent argued income should be set at $120,000 based on a projected available cash analysis, while the applicant relied on the respondent’s sworn financial statement showing income of approximately $169,000.
The court found the projection unreliable due to unsupported assumptions and incomplete financial disclosure, including the absence of updated financial statements and corporate records.
Income of $169,000 was imputed to the respondent, resulting in guideline child support for three children and spousal support within the advisory range.
