A motion to change brought by the father seeking retroactive variation of child support obligations and rescission of arrears totalling over $205,000.
The mother had filed a Writ of Seizure and Sale to enforce arrears under a separation agreement dated February 19, 2008.
The father claimed he had a verbal agreement with the mother to pay what he could afford following his job loss in 2009, and sought retroactive adjustment of support to accord with the Child Support Guidelines.
The court found a change in circumstances but granted only partial relief, reducing child support arrears while rescinding all interest as a penalty clause.
The court also partially rescinded spousal support arrears and established a framework for future disclosure and section 7 expense sharing.
