PREFACE

e objectives underlying this edition of Child Support Guidelines in Canada are to pro-

vide a comprehensive analysis of the caselaw, to produce order out of chaos, and to pro-

vide a quick and ef‌f‌icient means for readers to gain access to pertinent information on all

aspects of the Federal Child Support Guidelines and corresponding provincial guidelines.

is book is a “meat-and-potatoes” analysis that is written prima rily for practising lawyers

and judges who serve in the trenches of family wa rfare. e author’s role is perceived as that

of an analyst, not that of an advocate engaged in social engineering. e book describes

what judges have said and done without engaging in any socio-economic evaluation of the

Federal Child Support Guidelines. is i s a companion volume to Payne & Payne, Canadian

Family Law (Irwin Law).

e material in this book i s current to  September .
