The respondent brought a motion to change a 2007 child support order, seeking to terminate support for his 30-year-old intellectually disabled son and rescind all arrears.
The applicant opposed, seeking ongoing support and fixed arrears.
The court found the son was unable to withdraw from parental charge due to disability, entitling him to ongoing support under the amended Family Law Act.
The court determined the son's monthly needs, ordering the parents to contribute equally.
Arrears were significantly reduced due to Family Responsibility Office (FRO) inaccuracies and the applicant's delay in seeking Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) benefits, but not fully rescinded.
