The court imposed a $1,000 disclosure fine, awarded retroactive child support from January 2017, and set ongoing support for an adult child in university.
The court imputed income to the respondent, varied child support retroactively, and imposed fines for non-disclosure and breaching the parenting coordinator order.
Res judicata did not bar consideration of the variation on the unique facts; there was a material change in circumstances (closure of HSC CafĂŠ in April 2016 reducing applicantâs income and respondent obtaining employment) and the applicant failed to prove inability to pay prior to April 1, 2016; spousal support was varied prospectively to $1,000 per month effective April 1, 2016, arrears to be adjusted from that date forward, applicantâs life insurance obligation unchanged, medical insurance obligation terminated once respondent obtains employment-based coverage, and parties remain subject toâŚ
The court fixed child-support arrears, limited section 7 expenses, prioritized parenting time over activities, refused a parenting coordinator, and dismissed a penalty request.
The court found unjust enrichment in a long common-law relationship, ordered proprietary relief in several assets, imputed income for support, and required full disclosure.
The court refused to terminate spousal support effective June 1, 2007, holding that the recipient has not yet achieved full self-sufficiency and that the applicant's conduct contributed to prolonging her need; spousal support is continued for a three-year period with a defined stepped schedule (support continues through December 2008, $1,500/month for JanuaryâDecember 2009, then $1,200/month until the end of the third year) and a review at that point, with onus on recipient to prove ongoing need.
