How much retroactive spousal support is retroactive from July 1, 2017?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from D.M.T. v S.A.I, 2019 BCSC 1867 (CanLII):

The issue then is the appropriate retroactive spousal support amount from July 1, 2017. Given the actual income of the respondent in 2017 and 2018 is now known, the retroactive spousal support should be based on those years’ actual incomes, and for 2019, the respondent’s 2018 income: Petrie v. Senay, 2015 BCSC 1083 at paras. 63-64.
