Compensation for Household Damage Not Family Law Income
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAIn an appeal regarding provisional measures in divorce proceedings, the court addressed whether compensation received for household damage resulting from an accident constituted family law income for the purpose of support calculations. The court reasoned that compensation for household damage, which quantifies the economic loss from impaired ability to perform household duties regardless of actual cost expenditure, is a payment *sui generis* akin to compensation for personal injury or non-pecuniary damage, not a substitute for lost earnings; accordingly, based on its nature as a non-taxable indemnity and its purpose to allow the recipient discretion over its use (such as hiring assistance or accepting quality reduction), this insurance benefit is not to be counted as relevant family law income.
