Judge: The Honourable Justice Moira C. Legere Sers
Heard: April 7, 2008, in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Subject: Assessment of arrears.
Summary: Retroactivity
Issue: The payor became disabled in 2003. Arrears existed on an order for child support in April, 1999. Should all arrears be forgiven?
Result: The arrears were recalculated based on actual income since the original order and fixed. A moritorium was placed on collection due to the payor’s current disability. The onus was placed on the disabled payor to report to the mother if and when his financial situation improved.
