The father brought a motion to change to terminate child support for his 24-year-old son, arguing the son was no longer entitled after graduating high school.
The mother opposed and sought retroactive child support and section 7 expenses dating back to 2007, alleging the father failed to disclose significant income increases.
The court found the adult child remained entitled to support due to his ongoing medical conditions and enrollment in a college program.
Applying the D.B.S. and Colucci frameworks, the court awarded $55,000 in retroactive child support and section 7 expenses, finding that the father's failure to disclose his income constituted blameworthy conduct that outweighed the mother's unreasonable delay in bringing the application.
