What is the difference between the circumstances of a child and the amount paid by the father in a child placement case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.R.M. v. I.A.M., 2001 BCSC 1055 (CanLII):
I do not need to reconcile what the parties consider to be the apparent dichotomy between Hollenbach and Metzner v. Metzner (2000), R.F.L. (5th) 162 (B.C.C.A.) where the emphasis was on the circumstances of the particular children, rather than on the circumstances of similarly placed children. I do, however, point out that in Hollenbach, the mother’s budget was based on the amount the father paid.
