The respondent (father) brought a motion seeking Rule 20 questioning directions, amendment of the title of proceedings to reflect the applicant's married name, appointment of a lawyer for the children, and permission to amend his answer to include a hardship claim under section 10(1) of the Child Support Guidelines.
The underlying application concerns custody and child support following a separation in 2010, where the parties had executed a separation agreement providing for joint custody with primary residence to the mother and no table support.
The court granted the title amendment, dismissed the request for child's counsel appointment, limited the scope of Rule 20 questioning, and adjourned the hardship claim amendment for a separate motion.
