The court considered confirmation of a provisional order from the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta varying an earlier divorce judgment respecting child and spousal support.
Certain provisions relating to child support termination and post-secondary expenses were confirmed or varied on consent.
The court determined that retroactive child support should not be varied beyond June 1, 2009 pursuant to the parties’ Minutes of Settlement, resulting in a child support overpayment to be reimbursed to the payor.
The court also addressed variation of spousal support under s. 17 of the Divorce Act, finding a material change in circumstances and setting support at the low range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
Ongoing spousal support was ordered at $2,400 per month commencing November 1, 2011.
