Can I have a solution for this question?
Ms. Onmiown formally separated from her husband late in 2019. Custody of her threechildren, ages 14, 10, and 7, was granted to her as part of an agreement (properly referenced to the Income Tax Act, as necessary) that was worked out with her husband in Family Court. The oldest child, George, is 20 years old and, therefore, not part of the agreement, although he lives with her and the other children. To make a fresh start, on January 15, 2020, she resigned from her position in Elmira, Ontario, where she had been employed by the same employer since November 2002. She took a position in Dundas, Ontario, about 65 kilometres away.
