→Inadequate child support
Here are some cases that show how tricky this can get.
<blockquote>In ''[http://canlii.ca/t/gg05v Kaur v Nagra]'', a 2015 decision from the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, the spouses emigrated to Canada while their child remained at home with his grandparents. When the spouses decided to divorce, the court refused the order because they failed to show what "reasonable arrangements" were in place for the support of their child, even though the child was living with neither of them.</blockquote>
<blockquote>In ''[http://canlii.ca/t/g0mt9 Kendo v Kendo]'', a 2013 decision of the Northwest Territories Supreme Court, the court refused to make a divorce order without proof that the spouses had resolved the issue of child support.</blockquote>
<blockquote>In ''[http://canlii.ca/t/g36tp Holzbauer v Holzbauer]'', a 2014 decision from the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, the court refused to make a divorce order where the parties were relying on an 11-year-old child support order to prove that reasonable arrangements had been made.</blockquote>
<blockquote>In ''[http://canlii.ca/t/g22wn Walsh v Binet]'', a 2013 decision from the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, a spouse tried to get a divorce along with an order that the other spouse would not be required to pay child support. The court refused both orders as it had no information about the other spouse's income.</blockquote>
