AD v. ZS

Court
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia

Divorce granted. Shared parenting was denied due to ZS's minimal and inconsistent involvement; the court ordered supervised reintroduction via a Veith House program with a phased schedule and retained AD as primary caregiver. On child support the court found ZS intentionally under-employed and that his tax filings underreported income; arrears were calculated and set, ZS was credited $2,750 from sale proceeds, and ongoing support was set based on imputed income of $70,450 at $593.87/month from Jan 1, 2026 with s.7 expenses to be shared proportionally. On property, exceptional circumstances (c…

H.H.L. v. A.C.S.

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

On the limited interim record and taking a cautious approach, the court imputed income of $80,000 to the claimant and $20,000 to the respondent because of inadequate disclosure, questionable corporate expense deductions and respondent's current unemployment; a straight set‑off child support calculation produced a net payment of $633/month by the claimant; respondent established a prima facie entitlement to interim compensatory/needs spousal support given loss of her share and income disparity, and interim spousal support was set at the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines mid range of $836/mon…

A.B. v. C.D.

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

The 2009 marriage agreement is enforceable and not unconscionable in formation or substance; except for two specified reallocations to address fairness (transfer of the Hyundai Palisade and transfer of an investment), property is divided under the marriage agreement; respondent's Guidelines income is calculated using a non-capital eroding approach without a personal tax gross-up producing 2023: $632,373, 2024: $499,746, 2025 (averaged): $484,634; child support and spousal support are ordered prospectively and arrears determined to March 31, 2026; Y. to remain with claimant with no court-order…

Wassef v. Melek

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

The court found on the evidence that $4,000 per month from July 1, 2022 is more than sufficient to meet the child's needs because claimant's asserted expenses were inflated and unsupported; imposing the Table amount would result in a transfer of wealth to claimant rather than additional support for the child. The court also held there should be no retroactive increase for 2021 given the parties' prior consented order and expectations.

A.M. v. I.V.

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

The court concluded that the fairest determination was to include the Claimant Corporation's pre-tax income (with quantified add-backs for personal expenses) in the claimant's income and to average the relevant years under s.17 given fluctuation; it rejected imputation of additional income for 2023-24 due to demonstrated downturn, accepted specified add-backs to corporate income, determined the parties' Guidelines incomes (claimant $67,306 for each year; respondent $54,887 for 2023 and $80,801 for 2024), retroactively varied the Consent Order to reflect adjusted set-offs for child support, an…

Major v. Shupe

Court
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia

Court may incorporate the Parenting and Support Act on its own motion in the interests of justice; Applicant failed to prove a 40% shared parenting regime so Contino s.9 adjustments are not warranted; CERB and the 2022 RRSP withdrawal are included in income for guideline calculations absent satisfactory justification to exclude; arrears recalculated on actual income and fixed at $108,961.76 to February 28, 2026 and are enforceable with limited repayment terms and mandatory disclosure going forward.

V.D.C. v. R.J.F.C.

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

Court had jurisdiction to adjudicate enforcement/variation of the 2017 Separation Agreement; Father engaged in blameworthy non-disclosure and was capable of higher earnings, so income of $130,000 was imputed for 2018, 2024 and 2025 (with reported incomes used for 2019–2023); retroactive child support was awarded on that basis; retroactive s.7 expenses of $22,781.98 awarded; issue of support after the Child reached majority adjourned for further evidence.

Kaur v. Singh

Court
Supreme Court of British Columbia

Because the respondents repeatedly failed to disclose relevant financial records and material evidence of transfers from Mr. Singh to the Grandparents, the court drew adverse inferences and found those transfers supported a resulting trust in favour of Mr. Singh displacing indefeasible title; consequently the 68 Avenue Property was family property beneficially owned by Mr. Singh and Ms. Kaur and subject to equal division; income was imputed to Mr. Singh (including conservative rental income) based on disclosed records and adverse inferences; retroactive and lump sum prospective child and spou…
