This case concerns a motion to change a 2015 consent order regarding child support and parenting.
The primary issues were retroactive child support for 2020, 2021, and 2023, and the father's contribution to private school expenses for 2022-2023.
The court found the father failed to prove 40% parenting time for 2020, ordering retroactive support.
For 2021, the court included the father's significant income from stock option proceeds ($7.5M) for child support purposes, as mandated by Schedule III of the Ontario Child Support Guidelines.
However, applying Section 4 of the Guidelines for high-income earners, the court deemed the full Table amount inappropriate, finding it would constitute an impermissible wealth transfer to the mother.
Instead, the court ordered retroactive support based on doubling the child's budget for that year.
The father was also ordered to contribute to private school tuition, as his withdrawal of consent was deemed unreasonable.
The court also adjusted child support for 2022 and 2023 based on actual parenting time and income.
