If there is no reasonable excuse for the under-employment of a payor, what is the effect on imputed income?

[76] If there is no reasonable excuse for the payor’s under-employment, the court must determine what income should properly be imputed in the circumstances. The court must have regard to the payor’s capacity to earn income in light of such factors as employment history, age, education, skills, health, available employment opportunities and the standard of living enjoyed during the parties’ relationship. The court looks at the amount of income the party could earn if he or she worked to capacity. See: Lawson v. Lawson, 2006 CanLII 26573 (ONCA). 4.2 Analysis
