The applicant father brought a motion for interim spousal support, and the respondent mother brought a cross-motion for interim child support.
The father claimed he was unable to work due to a workplace injury and was receiving social assistance.
However, WSIB records revealed he had received extensive retraining but refused to seek employment in those fields.
The court imputed an annual income of $21,320 to the father based on minimum wage.
Applying the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines and Child Support Guidelines, the court ordered the father to pay $320 per month in child support and the mother to pay $320 per month in spousal support, offsetting the two amounts.
The mother was also ordered to make a one-time spousal support payment of $2,000 to the father.
