The applicant mother brought a motion to change seeking interpretation of a 2008 consent order governing child support, extraordinary expenses, and disclosure obligations.
The court determined that table child support and non‑medical special expenses were non‑variable until July 1, 2011 but that medical expenses under s.7 of the Child Support Guidelines were to be shared proportionately beginning in 2008 based on the parties’ 2007 incomes.
The court found the respondent father had failed to provide timely financial disclosure and recalculated child support based on proper guideline income, rejecting claimed deductions not permitted under Schedule III.
Arrears were ordered for table support, extracurricular expenses, and medical expenses, and ongoing monthly contributions were set for extraordinary and medical expenses.
The order also required ongoing annual income disclosure and confirmed the mother’s authority to make final decisions regarding s.7 activities if the parties cannot agree.
