What is the difference between retroactive and retroactive child support payments for two children?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Reid v Aiello, 2015 ONSC 4343 (CanLII):
Following Field v. Field, at para. 3, under the first option, the respondent would receive credit for child support paid for two children as a set off against the retroactive award for one child. This results in a windfall to the respondent at the expense of the mother, as the applicant can recover a retroactive award for one child, but the respondent receives credit for payments made for two children.
