J. F.L.D. of A.D. 1995 341 J.C. S. IN THE QUEEN'S BENCH JUDICIAL CENTRE OF SASKATOON BETWEEN: SHEILA ROSE MIGHTON and PAUL JAMES FISCHER RESPONDENT D. M. EBERT for the petitioner G. G. WALEN for the respondent FIAT DICKSON J. DATE: DECEMBER 6, 1995 The applicant (mother) seeks child support forCassandra, born July 13, 1990. Both she and the child are completely dependent upon the public purse. She estimates child costs at $759.00 per month, $300.00 of which is half her rent of $600.00 per month. The respondent (father) filed financial statement in which he reports gross employment income of $1,213.00 per month and rental income of $410.00 per month for total of $1,623.00 per month. He reports expenses of $2,762.00 per month, which makes one wonder how he does it. He gives no details about the rental income he receives nor does he identify the expense he must incur to earn this income. am quite sure it isn't all clear profit. For the purpose of calculating fair division of available resources am going to regard his gross income as $1,400.00 per month. Obviously there isn't enough money to go around. The father must be permitted to retain enough of his income toprovide a subsistence living for himself. Identifying that amount is rather difficult task. The child support guidelines suggest an annual obligation of $1,907.50 ($159.00 per month) for payor at the father's level of income. Such payment will leave him with $1,010.00 per month after he has paid his income tax, Canada Pension Plan and Unemployment Insurance contributions. That is barely sufficient to maintain subsistence level but he will have to manage as best he can. Obviously, the public purse must continue to bear most of his support obligation. There will be an interim order that the father paychild support of $160.00 per month commencing November 15, 1995.
