What is the real reason why a husband repudiated a child support agreement?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lamadrid v. Silva, 1994 CanLII 3837 (ON CJ):
[16] The agreement made by these parties as expressed in the minutes cannot be viewed as ending this litigation for another reason. In Craig v. Craig, the husband’s allegation of bargaining inequality and coercion was found not to be the real reason for his repudiation of the agreement. In fact, his first wife had given notice of her intention to claim child support and the husband: . . . decided his agreed upon settlement with the petitioner was going to jeopardize his capacity to pay appropriate child support to his former spouse.
