I was wondering if anyone could help with some guidance. My ex is self-employed (realtor) not a company. His T4A amounts 2005 $123,859/ 2006 $84,039/ 2007 $186,501/ 2008 $105,335 / 2009 $60,787 (funny we separated at the end of 2008. His Notice of Assessment Income for the same years were 2005 $49,542/ 2006 $15,593/ 2007 $47,507/ 2008 $31,102 and 2009 $25,676.
I requested an order for an income valuation because I believed that he was hiding income when it dropped so drastically after we separated. The income valuation came back supporting his numbers, it was also done by an accountant who happens to be a tenant of my ex-father-in-law and my ex-father-in-law is also a CA and CMA.
My question is how do I challenge these numbers to a judge? I was reading the Family Law Act Child Support Guidelines and it states that a Judge will impute income if "parent or spouse unreasonably deducts expenses from income" and "For the purpose of clause (1) (g), the reasonableness of an expense deduction is not solely governed by whether the deduction is permitted under the Income Tax Act (Canada). O. Reg. 391/97, s. 19 (2)." Would I have an arguement to dispute the amount of his deductions?
Thanks
