In a family law motion to change, the court addressed competing retroactive claims concerning table child support and section 7 special expenses after a long-running post-separation dispute.
Applying the material change threshold, the court rejected several alleged changes but accepted that prolonged bankruptcy and a period of significant illness created an unanticipated change warranting variation.
Child support was recalculated for multiple periods based on adjusted annual incomes, replacing prior support amounts effective May 1, 2006.
On special expenses, the court exercised discretion to resolve disputed historical claims and set an equal-sharing framework going forward for agreed section 7 expenses, subject to later readjustment by income.
