What is the impact of a payor's decision to quit his job in 2014 to pursue other employment options?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from M.A. v. M.E., 2021 ONCJ 555 (CanLII):

[139] In Samaroo v. Monasar, 2016 ONCJ 47, where a payor had unjustifiably quit his job in 2014 and had not found comparable employment by the time of trial, the court decided to maintain the payor’s support obligation from the time he quit his job, and only reduce it beginning in February, 2016. This was determined to be a fair balancing of the consequences of the payor’s decision to quit his job.
