What is the standard of review on support orders?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Slongo v. Slongo, 2017 ONCA 272 (CanLII):
The standard of review on support issues is highly deferential. Appellate courts should not interfere with support orders unless the reasons “disclose an error in principle, a significant misapprehension of the evidence, or unless the award is clearly wrong”: Hickey v. Hickey, 1999 CanLII 691 (SCC), [1999] 2 S.C.R. 518, at paras. 11-12.
