How Is Canadian Child Support Retroactively Corrected Under The Child Support Guidelines?
At MacLean family Law Group www.bcfamilylaw.ca we as Vancouver divorce and family lawyers have handled a number of spousal and child support retroactive cases including an interim retroactive support award case called J v J . Our client was ecstatic when we obtained one of the highest interim awards of spousal and child support for our client which approached $30,000 per month combined, together with substantial retroactive child support.
We have also represented numerous clients where we have sought to retroactively correct child support upward to reflect increases in the paying spouses incomes as well as to retroactively correct downward support based on a paying spouse’s lower income on the basis that the paying spouses should pay support on the proper income under the guidelines.
If you want to correct spousal or child support retroactively call us at any of our 4 offices province wide or fill out our contact form so we can begin to assist you.
A good summary of the obligations each spouse has in this area can be found at the Justice Canada website Continued...Category: Family Matters Blog
