What is the test for implementing a provision of security for a support order?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Skirten v. Lengyel, 2007 CanLII 4890 (ON SC):
In Singh v. Singh[1] Masa J., in relying on previous cases, noted the criteria for a court’s consideration in determining the need to implement a provision of security for a support order. They are as follows: (a) where a party has a history of dissipation of assets, that is, unable to handle money; (b) where the respondent is likely to leave the jurisdiction and become, in effect, an absconding debtor; (c) where the respondent has, in the past, refused to honor a support obligation, whether it came by court order or contract or has refused to provide support at all; (d) where the party has a poor employment history, or has indicated that he or she will leave their employment.
