e objectives underlying this edition of Child Support Guidelines in Canad a are to pro-

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

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

aspects of the Federal Child Support Guide lines and correspond ing provincial gu idelines.

is book is a “meat and potatoes” analysis t hat is written primar ily 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 socia l engineering. e book describes

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

Federal Child Support Guidelines.

is is a companion volume to Payne & Payne, Canadian Family Law, th ed. (Irwin

Law, ). e material in this book is c urrent to  March .
