Nova Scotia Court of Appeal
Citation: White v. White, 2015 NSCA 52
Date: 20150602
Docket: CA 434786
Registry: Halifax
Between:
James Dennis White
Appellant
v.
Helen Jane White
Respondent
|
Judge: |
The Honourable Justice J.E. (Ted) Scanlan |
|
Appeal Heard: |
May 12, 2015, in Halifax, Nova Scotia |
|
Subject: |
Divorce. Child and Spousal Maintenance, imputing income. Palpable Error. |
|
Summary: |
The trial judge imputed income in relation to work the appellant did in addition to his regular employment. While the evidence supported a finding of extra income, it did not support the finding of income at the level imputed by the trial judge. This resulted in an error in calculating child and spousal maintenance. |
|
Result: |
Based on the evidence, the imputed income reduced to $20,000 per annum. The spousal support is calculated based on income earned whether reported or not. The appellant is not ordered to work at extra employment over his regular employment but to the extent he does, the child and spousal support as well as Section 7 contributions are to be adjusted accordingly. |
