On a family law motion addressing child support, section 7 expenses, and contribution to a stepchild’s post‑secondary education, the court assessed conflicting evidence regarding the parties’ caregiving arrangements following separation.
The court accepted the father’s evidence that he was the primary caregiver and that the children resided with him approximately 70% of the time.
Retroactive child support was denied due to contradictory evidence regarding prior requests and proceedings.
Prospective guideline child support and proportionate daycare expenses were ordered against the mother.
The mother’s claim seeking contribution from the father toward her adult child’s college expenses was dismissed because no parental relationship within the meaning of the legislation was established and the father lacked financial capacity.
