Motion for contribution to AAA hockey expenses dismissed as father could reasonably cover the costs.
The father brought a motion seeking an order requiring the mother to pay her proportionate share of their son's AAA hockey registration costs for the 2022-2023 season.
The mother conceded that AA hockey expenses for their other son were extraordinary expenses but argued that AAA hockey expenses were not.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the father had covered the AAA expenses for the past six years, indicating he could reasonably afford them without contribution from the mother, and thus failed to meet the test under section 7(1)(f) of the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
