What is the difference between the Federal and provincial guidelines on disclosure of income for child support purposes?

37 With respect to the first argument, it should be noted that this is one of those few situations where there is a significant difference between the two sets of guidelines. The Federal guidelines make it clear that the financial disclosure provisions were not meant to exclude the operation of the provincial rules of court: 21(5) Nothing in this section precludes the making of rules by a competent authority, within the meaning of section 25 of the Act, respecting the disclosure of income information that is considered necessary for the purposes of the determination of an amount of a child support order. See, for example, Chapman v. Chapman, [1998] B.C.J. No. 2401 (S.C.) (Q.L.) where the court accepted that even if the information in question was not covered by the Federal guidelines, the other parent was not precluded from seeking disclosure pursuant to the provincial court rules.
