Preface

e objectives underlying this ed ition of Child Support Guidelines in Canada a re to provide

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

quick and ecient means for readers to gain access to pertinent information on al l aspects

of the Federal Child Support Guidelines and corresponding provincia l guidelines. is book

is a “meat-and-potatoes” analysis that is w ritten primarily for practi sing lawyers and judges

who serve in the trenches of family wa rfare. e author’s role is perceived as that of an ana-

lyst, not that of an advocate engaged in social engineering. e book describe s 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).
