It explores imputation of income under the Federal Child Support Guidelines and the Alberta Child Support Guidelines and  the Peters test. It also provides a sampling of case law in child support matters; practical tips for advancing an imputation argument, including evidence required; and a quick note on imputation for the purposes of spousal support.
