Does a spouse's failure to make an interim application for retroactive child and spousal support carry more weight than they would have if they were seeking interim support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Young v. Young, 2012 BCSC 1727 (CanLII):
Where a spouse claims retroactive spousal support, the failure to give timely notice and the failure to give a reasonable explanation for not making an interim application will carry more weight than they would have where the application is for retroactive child support. See Kerr v. Baranow at para. 208.
