On March 18, 2020 and subsequently, the Government of Canada has announced a series of measures designed to support these stakeholder groups \u2013 including temporary wage subsidies, small business financing, special GST credits, and deferral of tax payments, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the efforts by the Federal and Provincial Governments, over one million Canadians lost their jobs in March, a trend that is forecasted to worsen in April<a href=\"#valtechniquessources\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. Moreover, changes to an individual or household\u2019s financial circumstance may be magnified within the context of a relationship breakdown. This is particularly the case with respect to child and spousal support obligations.<\/p>\n<h4>Support Obligations and COVID-19<\/h4>\n<p>Individuals with a court order to pay child and\/or spousal support may be expected to continue payments, regardless of whether COVID-19 has affected their ability to earn income<a href=\"#valtechniquessources\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>. \u00a0Under normal circumstances, individuals who are unable to afford child or spousal support obligations may request relief from the Courts through a motion to change \u2013 referred to as a \u201cchange of circumstance\u201d<a href=\"#valtechniquessources\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, on March 17, 2020, the Superior Court of Justice suspended all regular operations; including all non-urgent criminal, family, and civil matters \u2013 and a motion to change may not be deemed an urgent matter. Therefore, support payors may need to wait for the Court to resume their normal operations before they are able to file for a change of circumstance.<\/p>\n<h4>Impact on Employees<\/h4>\n<p>Employees across all sectors and professions are facing job losses, temporary layoffs, and reduced shifts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Understandably, this presents a challenge for individuals and households required to make support payments.<\/p>\n<p>In such circumstances, support payors have a few options available to them \u2013 they may be able to contact their ex-spouse and explain the situation, they may be able to pay a portion of the support from their savings, or offer to pay the balance once they return to work<a href=\"#valtechniquessources\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>. In addition, support payors may be able to mitigate their loss of income by seeking alternative employment, and\/or taking advantage of various benefits available to them \u2013 including the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, and Employment Insurance.<\/p>\n<h4>Impact on Entrepreneurs<\/h4>\n<p>Self-employed individuals may experience different challenges altogether. Declining sales may lead to reduced profits and cash flow concerns. Even if a business remains profitable during the pandemic, cash flow concerns may persist. For example, a business owner may have trouble collecting accounts receivables. In this case, even though the business is profitable, the owner may not have the funds available to draw from the business.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Income for Support Reports prepared by Chartered Business Valuators (\u201cCBVs\u201d), on a prospective basis, may need to be re-considered to determine if Covid-19 has impacted the income available from a corporation.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to employees, self-employed individuals may be required to take similar measures to mitigate their loss of income. Fortunately, the Federal and Provincial Governments have rolled out a series of measures to help businesses during these difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>A summary of Covid-19 financial relief available for Canadian individuals, businesses, charities and non-profits can be found on our website <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.tbkdev.com\/dev\/davismartindale.com\/src\/covid-19-financial-relief-canadians\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n<p>Individuals and households facing a decline in their financial circumstances amidst the COVID-19 pandemic would be wise to respond to the impact quickly, and diligently. In the interim, support payors may be required to take steps to mitigate their loss of income by seeking alternative employment, and\/or taking advantage of the various government programs available to them. In doing so, they may demonstrate they were acting prudently, and in good faith. Documentation of all steps taken will likely be an important evidentiary tool in the event of a dispute over the change of circumstance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like a further discussion on any
