Section 590
Disposition versions
590. If support is payable as a pension, it is indexed by operation of law on 1 January each year, in accordance with the annual Pension Index determined pursuant to section 119 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9), in order to maintain the real monetary value of the claim resulting from the judgment awarding support.
However, where the application of the index brings about a serious imbalance between the needs of the creditor and the means of the debtor, the court may, in exercising its jurisdiction, either fix another basis of indexation or order that the claim not be indexed.
