What is the test for appellate interference in a motion judge's order setting out child support payments?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Campbell v. Campbell, 2014 MBCA 104 (CanLII):
It is well established that an appellate tribunal should show great deference to a decision of a motion judge setting out support payments, whether for a spouse or children. Unless a support order discloses an error in principle, a significant misapprehension of the evidence or unless an award is clearly wrong, there should be no appellate interference. See Hickey v. Hickey, 1999 CanLII 691 (SCC), [1999] 2 S.C.R. 518.
