What is the test for imputing income to a spouse for purposes of calculating spousal support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.J.E. v. L.M.E., 2016 BCSC 2579 (CanLII):
Although there is no analogous statutory framework to the Guidelines to impute income for spousal support purposes, the court retains a broad discretion to impute income to a spouse for the purposes of spousal support: L.F. v. B.F., 2012 BCSC 1073 [L.F.]. Generally speaking, the test for imputing a spouse’s income in order to determine spousal support is similar to the test that applies with respect to child support; the essential issue is one of reasonableness: Marquez v. Zapiola, 2013 BCCA 433 at para. 37 [Marquez].
