The applicant brought an application under the Inter-Jurisdictional Support Orders Act seeking a child support order against a respondent residing in Quebec.
The court reviewed the materials filed in support of a provisional order and identified several deficiencies, including reliance on incorrect statutory provisions, failure to highlight relevant sections, use of Ontario child support tables instead of the Quebec tables, insufficient evidence of the respondent’s income, and inadequate documentation supporting claimed special or extraordinary expenses.
The court emphasized that provisional ISOA orders made without notice must be supported by clear and complete evidence to avoid rejection by the confirming jurisdiction.
As the materials were incomplete and unclear, the application was dismissed without prejudice to refiling.
