The applicant sought property, support, and parenting orders following the breakdown of a nine-year common-law relationship.
The court found the applicant held a 50 percent beneficial interest in a home titled solely in the respondent's name, as she had contributed to the down payment and carrying costs from a joint account.
The court declined to impute a one-time capital gain to the respondent's income for child support purposes.
Retroactive child support was awarded from the date the respondent ceased paying the children's private school tuition, but the court declined to order retroactive contribution to the tuition itself, finding the private school expenses were neither necessary nor extraordinary given the post-separation financial circumstances.
