The father brought a motion to reduce his child support obligations after quitting his $60,000 per year maintenance job in Ottawa and relocating to Sault Ste.
Marie to pursue a new relationship.
He sought to have support based on a reduced income of $30,000, citing medical reasons for leaving his previous employment.
The mother opposed the motion and sought to impute his previous income.
The court found insufficient evidence to determine the reasonableness of the father's resignation and converted the motion to a trial.
In the interim, the court imputed the father's previous income of $60,689, ordering him to pay $902 per month in child support, plus costs.
