PREFACE

e objectives underlying this ed ition of Child Support Guidelines in C anada are to prov ide

a comprehensive analysis of the case law, to produce order out of chaos, and to provide a

quick and ef‌f‌icient means for readers to gain access to pertinent information on al l aspects of

the Federal Child Suppor t Guidelines and corresp onding provi ncial gu idelines.  is book

is a “meat and potatoes” analysis that is wr itten primar ily for practising lawyers and judges

who serve in the trenches of family w arfare. e author’s role is perceived as that of an

analyst — not that of an advocate engaged in social eng ineering. e book describes what

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

eral Child Support Guidelines.

is is a companion volume to Payne & Payne, Canadian Family Law, th ed. (Irw in

Law, ). e material in this book is cu rrent to July , .
