The applicant sought confirmation of an Alberta provisional order to reduce child and spousal support.
The Ontario court found a material change in circumstances for 2010-2013 due to the applicant's alcohol abuse and homelessness, varying support to zero for those years and reducing it for 2013.
However, for subsequent years, the court found the applicant's evidence regarding his income, lifestyle, and relationship with his new partner to be inconsistent, unreliable, and lacking credibility, refusing to confirm the provisional order's ongoing reductions.
The original Ontario order for ongoing support was largely reinstated from 2014 onwards, with child support adjusted for one child.
