The moving party brought a motion to vary prior orders respecting child support and spousal support following divorce.
The court considered whether there had been a material change in circumstances since the earlier orders, including the recipient’s medical expenses, ongoing financial assistance from family, and the payor’s bankruptcy.
The court found the payor’s income for the relevant year and held that the table amount of child support under the Ontario Child Support Guidelines should apply.
The child support obligation was increased and the spousal support obligation reduced but not to the minimal level sought by the moving party.
The court declined to award costs despite the moving party’s limited success.
