What is the presumptive date for child support when the father raises the issue with the mother by text message?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from P.I. v. R.O., 2022 ONCJ 120 (CanLII):

[73] The father raised the issue of child support with the mother in early November 2021 by text message. This is when the father provided the mother with effective notice of his interest in seeking support. It is the presumptive date when support should start. See: Colucci v. Colucci, 2021 SCC 24, par. 114. The mother acted with hostility to this request and refused to pay any support.[7]
