The applicant father sought termination of child support and reimbursement of alleged overpayments after both adult children had ceased to be eligible for support.
The court found that both children were no longer entitled to support as of November 2006 and that the respondent mother, who was aware of this, had continued to receive payments.
Applying principles of retroactive support and fairness, the court held that a parent aware that support obligations have ended must act on that knowledge.
The father had continued paying $211 per month until April 2013, resulting in $16,036 in overpayments.
The court ordered termination of support effective October 2006 and directed that the Family Responsibility Office recover the overpayment from the respondent.
