The parties proceeded to trial on the issues of child and spousal support following an eight-year cohabitation.
The applicant father is the sole shareholder of a successful engineering company, while the respondent mother is employed at a modest income and has re-partnered.
The court imputed $90,000 of the corporation's pre-tax income to the father under s. 18 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines, setting his income at $201,537.
Child support was determined based on a shared custody set-off, with a deduction for the biological father's actual support payments.
The mother was awarded compensatory and non-compensatory spousal support of $2,250 per month for a fixed duration of six years, with a retroactive award adjusted for notional tax consequences.
