Do the new tax rules apply to court orders or written agreements
made before May 1, 1997?
No,
the changes to the tax rules are not retroactive. However, it is
possible for you to sign an agreement with your ex-spouse advising
Revenue Canada that both of you would like the new tax rules to
apply to you.
Also,
if you go back to court and ask for a new order revising the amount
of child support, the new tax rules will apply to the new order.
