The former common-law wife of a Chatham-area man accused of unlawfully collecting more than $60,000 in child-tax credits told the court that Michael Hulme was not the father of several dozen children.
Norita Demar, the first witness in Hulme’s trial for tax fraud, told Crown attorney Paul Bailey Thursday she would know if her ex-spouse had – or cared for – the more than 40 children allegedly named in online benefit applications to the Canada Revenue Agency.
The 39-year-old Hulme, a Bothwell resident, has pleaded not guilty to the four tax charges filed under the Income Tax Act.
