British Columbia, Canada

The factors to be considered in determining whether to award retroactive spousal support are similar to those that must be considered in determining whether to award retroactive child support: D.B.S. v. S.R.G., 2006 SCC 37; Kerr v. Baranow, 2011 SCC 10 at para. 207. They include: the reasons why support was not sought earlier; the conduct of the payor parent; the circumstances of the child; and any hardship the retroactive award may have upon the payor spouse.
