British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from D. v. L., 2000 BCSC 1309 (CanLII):

In Russenberger v. Rebagliati, [2000] B.C.S.C. 82, I determined that the concluding words of section 5 were not exhaustive with respect to the considerations that should guide a court in making an appropriate award under the section and that the appropriate child support order is a matter of discretion.
