What is the test for a reduction in the amount of child maintenance under the Guidelines?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Garrett-Rempel v. Garrett-Rempel, 2000 BCSC 1275 (CanLII):
She submitted that the reduction in the amount of child maintenance would cause undue hardship because it would reduce the standard of living of the children. That situation is not sufficient to constitute the type of undue hardship that permits a departure from the Guidelines: See Hoover v. Hoover, (1997), [1998] N.W.T.R. 209; [1997] N.W.T.J. No. 43 (S.C.) (Q.L.).
