Kinso posted a link to a super interesting case that I felt shouldn't be buried at the end of a different thread:

There is a ruling, where the judge decisively rules against the support payor, but then he adds to the end of the ruling:
He then goes on to make some very on point commentary.
Sadly though, this case was from 2014. His call for parliment to take action clearly fell on deaf ears.

[33] I have spent a great deal of time considering the issues raised in this Appeal. I would like to take this opportunity to express some concerns that I have about the current state of the law. In my view, there are serious inequities that can arise when child support recipients are permitted to deduct the legal fees that they have laid out to establish child support payments and child support payors are not permitted the same deduction. I feel that those inequities are aching to be addressed by Parliament. Please note that the following comments relate only to legal fees laid out to establish child support, not those laid out to enforce arrears of child support.
