This decision concerns a Rule 15 Motion to Change brought by Mr. Edwards to vary a final child support order.
The trial proceeded on an uncontested basis after Ms. Smith, the support recipient, declined to participate despite multiple opportunities.
The court found that Ms. Smith failed to provide required disclosure regarding the children’s post-secondary status and section 7 expenses, resulting in adverse inferences against her.
The court recalculated child support and section 7 expenses based on updated income information and terminated certain obligations retroactively.
Mr. Edwards was awarded substantial costs due to Ms. Smith’s unreasonable conduct.
