[98] As set out by Justice L’Heureux-Dubé in Willick v. Willick, 1994 CanLII 28 (SCC), [1994] 3 S.C.R. 670, a proper variation of child support where a mother’s income increases takes into account the needs of the children as well as the increased income of the wife. An increase in the mother’s income could very well lead to a conclusion that although the amount of spousal support should be reduced, the amount of child support should be commensurately raised in order to address realistically the situation of the family and the fact that child support had previously been understated because of its interrelationship with the means of the payor.
