When will the claimant have to pay retroactive child support from January 1, 2014?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ford v. Ford, 2016 BCSC 2152 (CanLII):
As I indicated at the time, the claimant’s obligation to provide child support is an obligation to his Boys regardless of the respondent’s conduct. Even in cases involving children who have been alienated from a parent, the court is reluctant to terminate a parent’s child support obligation: see, for example, Athwal v. AthwaI, 2007 BCSC 221, paras. 51-53. The claimant could have applied for an order compelling disclosure if he was concerned. I conclude that the claimant is to pay retroactive child support, based on the incomes I set out above, from January 1, 2014 forward.
