The respondent brought a motion to change child support orders dated October 4, 2010 and October 25, 2010.
The applicant opposed the motion and brought a cross-motion asking the court to decline jurisdiction, arguing that the appropriate forum was a U.S. state where she had relocated with the child after being served with the motion to change.
The court dismissed the applicant's jurisdictional motion, finding that Ontario had jurisdiction and that the applicant had not satisfied her onus to show that the foreign jurisdiction was more appropriate.
The court granted the respondent's motion to change in part, reducing the imputed income from $53,000 to $32,203 per annum, resulting in ongoing child support of $271 per month, and reducing arrears by $4,500 with a repayment schedule.
