Appeal to retroactively terminate child support for adult son with Autism Spectrum Disorder dismissed.
The appellant father appealed a motion judge's decision dismissing his request to retroactively terminate child support for his adult son and order repayment of $8,533.
The motion judge found the son remained entitled to support due to intellectual issues, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, which impeded his ability to become self-supporting.
The Divisional Court found no palpable and overriding error in the motion judge's assessment of the evidence and dismissed the appeal.
Application regarding disputed oral agreement for property ownership adjourned to complete cross-examinations on affidavits.
The applicants brought an application seeking a declaration of a 25% equitable ownership interest in a property based on an alleged oral agreement.
The respondents denied the agreement.
At the hearing, the parties jointly requested an adjournment to conduct cross-examinations on affidavits.
The court questioned whether the matter should proceed by application given the fundamental factual dispute, but allowed it to continue as an application on consent, noting it is functionally similar to a summary judgment motion and the hearing judge will ultimately determine if the record is sufficient to resolve the dispute.
