British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.A.C. v. V.L.C., 2009 BCSC 1417 (CanLII):
Further, it was argued by V.L.C. at para. 267 of her closing submissions at trial, as follows: The calculation of the appropriate amount of support under s. 9 is moreover complicated in a situation where one parent earns a large income. Although s. 9 contains the complete code for determining child support in shared parenting situations, s. 4 identifies a number of issues and principles relevant to high-income earners. Archibald v. Archibald, 2007 ABQB 486 at paras. 25-26.
