When the husband understated his income for child support purposes, the wife was receiving social assistance. In what circumstances will he be entitled to table child support?

As in Michel v. Graydon, where the mother was in receipt of social assistance and the father had understated his income, in the present case, the wife was only able to sustain herself and the children with the support of Ontario Works, the community and friends. The children were all forced to pool their part-time income to meet their needs and to take out student loans to pay for their post-secondary studies. They now have to repay these student loans with their minimal income. Further, the husband did not disclose his income tax returns or make proper financial disclosure despite court orders that he do so. His income tax returns were not produced until just prior to the hearing of this uncontested trial, making it impossible for the wife to have calculated the appropriate quantum of table child support until the hearing of this uncontested trial.
