What is the current state of the law on retroactive child support for A.C. and K.C?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from O.C. v. K.C., 2016 BCSC 72 (CanLII):
While A.C. and K.C. may have been entitled to child support during that time, they were no longer children of the marriage at the time the application for child support was made (November 2014). Accordingly, an order for retroactive support is no longer available, even though A.C. and K.C. might have been entitled to greater amounts earlier in their lives (D.B.S. v. S.R.G., 2006 SCC 37, at para. 89; de Rooy v. Bergstrom, 2010 BCCA 5, at paras. 64-65).
