The applicant father sought termination of child support and elimination of significant arrears arising under a pre‑Guidelines separation agreement after the parties’ child reached the age of majority and pursued post‑secondary education.
The court considered whether the adult child remained a "child of the marriage" and how support should be calculated for periods of university attendance and residence away from home.
Applying the Child Support Guidelines retroactively, the court determined that support remained payable during periods of full‑time education, with a temporary suspension during a one‑year break.
The court also apportioned post‑secondary expenses including tuition, books, rent, transportation, and dental costs among the parents and the child.
The applicant’s arrears were substantially reduced but not eliminated.
