The payor father brought a motion to change a 2014 child support order, seeking to terminate support for his two adult children due to his terminal cancer diagnosis, job loss, and the children's ability to support themselves.
The recipient mother sought retroactive increases in support and contributions to post-secondary expenses.
The court found material changes in circumstances and allowed both retroactive claims to proceed.
The court ordered retroactive increases in the Table amount for 2015 and 2016, but reduced the payor's obligation starting June 2017 due to his decreased income and the children's receipt of CPP disability benefits and employment income.
The court terminated the payor's child support obligation entirely effective June 30, 2018, resulting in a final arrears balance of $1,363 owed to the mother.
