The respondent father brought a motion to change a child support order dated November 6, 2008, seeking to reduce his child support obligations for his 22-year-old daughter and to reduce his support arrears.
The applicant mother opposed the motion.
The Director of the Family Responsibility Office brought a concurrent default proceeding.
The court found that while there had been a change in circumstances since 2008 due to the father's additional health issues and age, the father's evidence was not credible and he had demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance with support obligations.
The court reduced the arrears from approximately $19,267 to $12,000 and set ongoing child support at $250 per month based on an imputed income of $30,440 per annum.
The court ordered the father to repay arrears at $200 per month during the child's entitlement period and $450 per month thereafter, with a default order providing for jail time for non-compliance.
