OTTAWA - George Calogeracos has lost his fight to overturn a section
of the Income Tax Act he says discriminates against divorced dads like
him who share custody of their children and pay child support.
The 52-year-old Ottawa area cook and father of two went to tax court
last month, arguing the Canada Revenue Agency violated his charter
rights by denying his claim for the "equivalent to spouse" deduction
for one of his daughters on his 2006 tax return.
