The applicant mother sought retroactive and prospective child support for two adult children suffering from sickle cell anaemia.
The respondent father contested jurisdiction, arguing the proper forum was Ireland, Nigeria, or Israel, and denied paternity despite DNA tests confirming his parentage to a 99.99999% probability.
The court found it had jurisdiction, confirmed the respondent's paternity, and awarded retroactive child support to August 1, 2016, citing the father's blameworthy conduct in evading his obligations.
The court also ordered prospective support with set termination dates and granted a final preservation order securing the support against the father's property.
