What is the test for using pre-tax corporate income as a basis for child support?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from C.M. v. P.M, 2019 NSSC 250 (CanLII):
It is important to remember, as noted in Kowalewich v. Kowalewich, 2001 BCCA 450, “the use of pre-tax corporate income as a basis for the determination of child support does not strip a spouse of his available money (my emphasis). It is to use available money as a measuring rod for the purpose of fixing annual income and thus the amount of child support”.
