Is retroactive pay included as income for child support purposes?
New Brunswick, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.L. v. J.M.1, 2010 NBQB 270 (CanLII):
Section 16 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines stipulates that subject to sections 17 to 20, annual income is determined using the sources of income set out under the heading “total income” in the T1 General, subject to adjustments which have no application in this case. Retroactive pay is one of those sources and was included as income for child support purposes in A.(J.H.) v A.(C.G.), 2008 CarswellMan 126 and Hamonic v. Gronvold 1999 CarswellSask 29.
