Can a father benefit from a retroactive reduction of child support arrears based on reduced income in the years 2016- 2018?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from K.B. v. M.A., 2019 NBQB 90 (CanLII):

The real question is whether the father can benefit from a retroactive reduction of child support arrears based on reduced income in the years 2016-2018; because, without more, Brown v. Brown, supra, would indeed require a reduction commensurate with the lesser Line 150 income in those years. However, there is more in this case.
