Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from TT v JT, 2013 ABQB 669 (CanLII):
A year earlier, in Goett v. Goett, 2013 ABCA 216, the court reversed a chambers decision where the chambers judge had concluded that he did not have sufficient information to attribute income. The court reviewed the evidence submitted to the chambers judge and made adjustments to the payor’s guideline income by disallowing an income split with his current spouse, adjusting the car allowance and personal use of the home taken and attributing pre-tax income to the payor.
