Does anyone know of any good case law on section 7? Specifically a case where the judge uses the Child support guidelines below and applies them to the case? I'm wondering what happens if the spouse requesting the section 7 amount is the spouse paying child support?...does the wording of "reasonably cover?" still apply. (for example....spouse who pays child support is large income earner and signs kids up for $$$ activities without other parents consent...now payor spouse seeks reimbursement for same. Spouse receiving child support is small income earner and states inability to pay. Is payor spouses income taken into account?.. meaning, payor spouse should not get reimbursement as high income would more than pay for expense?)
