An application under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, 2002 concerning child support for two children residing with the mother in another province.
The mother sought child support based on income imputed to the father after he voluntarily left military employment to pursue paramedic training.
The court held that the father was intentionally unemployed but found his return to school constituted reasonable educational advancement, declining to impute income during the training period.
Child support was therefore suspended during the schooling period but ordered to resume upon anticipated employment.
The court also determined child support arrears for late 2013 based on the father's line 150 income including severance payments and ordered payment of the father's proportionate share of section 7 childcare expenses.
