The respondent brought a motion to change to terminate spousal support and seek relief from child and spousal support arrears, citing unemployment and the applicant's new common-law relationship.
The applicant cross-moved for retroactive variation of child support, payment of section 7 expenses, and an order fixing arrears, while opposing the termination of spousal support.
The court found no material change in circumstances to warrant termination of spousal support, varied child support retroactively, fixed substantial arrears, ordered payment of section 7 expenses, and awarded costs to the applicant, finding the respondent's financial difficulties were not new and his conduct regarding disclosure and payments was poor.
