LIBRARY HEADING
Judge: The Honourable Justice Mona M. Lynch
Heard: February 25, 2013 in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Subject: Family ‑ child support ‑ retroactive
Summary: Parties separated in 2002 and divorced in 2005. CRJ required father to pay child support for two children based on income of $52,600. Mother applied to vary in 2010 and father filed and provided documentation showing his income was $40,000 and threatened to apply for a reduction in child support. Mother applied again in late 2011. Father filed a statement of income showing income of $52,000. Closer to the hearing date, the father admitted to deceiving the mother and the court. Father provided documentation showing income well above amount disclosed.
Issue: What is the father=s income? Is an order for retroactive child support appropriate? If so, in what amount?
Result: Retroactive child support order of $171,786.00.
