The respondent father brought a motion to stay the enforcement of his child and spousal support arrears and to temporarily vary his support obligations pending a final determination of his Motion to Change.
He argued that his termination from employment constituted a material change in circumstances.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the respondent failed to establish a strong prima facie case due to his failure to file his 2023 income tax return.
The court also found no clear case of hardship, a lack of urgency, and that the respondent did not come to court with clean hands, having unilaterally ceased support payments and failed to provide updated financial disclosure.
