Family law 2003 NSCA 33

Hill v. Hill

The Court dismissed the appeal and cross-appeal, holding the trial judge did not err in using the income reported on line 150 for Guideline purposes, did not misinterpret the father's trial position consenting to pay the full table amount, and properly exercised discretion in refusing a full revaluation while making targeted adjustments for losses and improper withdrawals (including ordering repayment of dividends). The judge's costs award was within discretion. A review of child support based on current incomes was ordered rather than immediate variation.

  • Child support guidelines (income determination, shared custody, imputation)
