On a family law motion brought by the mother, the court ordered temporary ongoing child support, related insurance relief, and disclosure, while adjourning the claim for retroactive child support for earlier years.
The court refused a broad adjournment sought by the father despite counsel illness and late file transfer issues, holding that the child’s entitlement to support and the mandatory application of the Child Support Guidelines justified determining current support immediately.
Pending fuller disclosure, the court used the father’s 2018 line 150 income rather than the lower 2019 line 15000 amount or the mother’s proposed gross-income calculation.
The court also held that s. 9 of the Child Support Guidelines did not apply on the parenting record before it.
