In what circumstances will a court impute income to a spouse who has been unreasonable in the past?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.B. v. C.D., 2012 BCSC 267 (CanLII):
In considering the reasonableness of a spouse's efforts to become self-sufficient, a court may conclude that a spouse has been unreasonable in the past, and for purposes of analysis, impute income to that spouse, as was done in McEachern v. McEachern, 2006 BCCA 508 at para. 40-41. This is based on the factors in the Divorce Act and not based on the CSG.
