What is the test for entitlement to support?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ball v. Broger, 2010 ONCJ 557 (CanLII):
[16] At this stage, the court does not embark on a detailed examination of the merits of the case. Having said that, however, it is nonetheless clear that entitlement to support must be established before any order is made for support, be it interim or permanent. (See Cuzzocrea v. Swain, [1995] O.J. No. 2824).
