SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO

RE: TANYA LEE STEAD, Applicant v. EARL ANTHONY JORDINE, Respondent

BEFORE: M. J. DONOHUE J.

COUNSEL: Self-represented litigants

HEARD: In writing

ENDORSEMENT

[1] The applicant, Tanya Stead, seeks to vary her child support order pursuant to the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, 2002.

[2] Ms. Stead is resident in Newfoundland with the child who is now 17 years of age.

[3] The respondent father, Mr. Jordine is resident in Brampton, Ontario.

[4] The current order for child support is from the Supreme Court in Newfoundland and Labrador by Hurley J., dated October 27, 2014.

[5] There are three requests by Ms. Stead to which Mr. Jordine consents, pursuant to his affidavit of December 14, 2016, as follows.

Consented Orders

(a) I order Mr. Jordine to add the child to his medical/dental coverage available through his employer. I order him to provide Ms. Stead with the insurance name, address and claim number within 30 days.

(b) Mr. Jordine is to contribute 50% of the child’s extracurricular activities provided he has approved the expense in writing, in advance of it being incurred. Mr. Jordine is not to unreasonably withhold his consent. After deducting any contribution by the child toward the expense Mr. Jordine is to pay 50% within five days of Ms. Stead delivering proof of the expense.

(c) Mr. Jordine is to pay 50% of the child’s driver education classes after deducting the child’s contribution, following receipt of proof from Ms. Stead that it is incurred.

Disputed Issues

[6] Ms. Stead seeks a court order for Mr. Jordine to contribute to an RESP for the child’s education.

[7] The court does not have jurisdiction to order such an investment. This request does, however, put Mr. Jordine on notice that the child may well pursue post-secondary education and require his continued support.

[8] Ms. Stead seeks an order that Mr. Jordine assist with her car insurance particulars to insure the child.

[9] There are no particulars and I am not satisfied this is an appropriate s.7 expense.

[10] This request is denied.

[11] Mr. Jordine requests disclosure of the expenses of the basketball trips. Within 30 days Ms. Stead is to advise him in writing;

• Does the child play on a team or recreationally?
• How often are the trips?
• What are the costs?
• Are they mandatory?
