The 2008 Annotated Divorce Act is an essential resource for all family law practitioners.

  • A review of the case law and issues surrounding retroactive awards, including the meaning of retroactive, the availability of retroactive awards and the jurisdiction to award them.
  • New commentary and case law on Section 7(1.1) of the Federal Child Support Guidelines, clarifying the approach to be taken in determining the meaning of “extraordinary expenses”.
  • A review of the meaning of “means” in determining child support, including case law on the impact of the income of new partners.
