The following excerpt is from Janik v. Drotlef, 2018 ONCJ 287 (CanLII):
A payor who argues that imputed income is no longer appropriate must go beyond his or her “declared income”. He or she must address both why income had to be imputed in the first place and establish that it is either no longer appropriate to impute income as representations as to income should now be accepted; or if income should still be imputed now, it should be done at a different amount: see ¶ 52 of Trang v. Trang.
The onus falls on the payor, not the recipient, to establish that there should be a change in the way his income is to be calculated: see ¶ 55 of Trang v. Trang.
