The responding mother brought a motion to change a 2005 final order respecting child support and section 7 expenses.
She sought retroactive child support and contributions toward the adult children’s university expenses.
The court found material change based on increased parental incomes and the children’s enrolment in post‑secondary education.
Applying the principles governing retroactive support, the court limited retroactivity to three years prior to the motion and rejected allegations that parent‑child alienation justified denying support.
The father was ordered to pay arrears for education and section 7 expenses and ongoing limited support for one child until April 2016.
