Is compensation going exclusively to reimbursement of expenses considered income for child and spousal support purposes?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.R. v. C.R., 2015 BCPC 54 (CanLII):
Extending the reasoning in Cole v. Cole to this case, it is my view that the compensation going exclusively to the reimbursement of expenses would not be considered as income under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, nor should it be considered under the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines or when considering the quantum of spousal support.
