The following excerpt is from K.D.G. v S.R.G, 2018 BCSC 1232 (CanLII):
The court has a broad discretion to impute income to either or both spouses for the purposes of determining child and spousal support. The court’s discretion to impute income recognizes that insofar as it is practicable, and having regard to all of the circumstances, spouses seeking support are required to make reasonable efforts to support themselves: [MacCarthy v. MacCarthy, 2015 BCCA 496] at para. 34.
