The court found a material change in parenting time from April 2022, varied child support, rejected the daughter's rent as a special expense, and ordered a new counsellor for the son.
The court dismissed retroactive table child support for an adult child, ordered a retroactive reapportionment of post-secondary expenses, and credited the father $1,478.
The court held that Azim Jiwani remained a child of the marriage for Fall 2018, but only under strict Dalhousie conditions, and capped the claimant’s support obligation.
On the facts the adult son remains a "child of the marriage" because his autism renders him unable to withdraw from his mother's charge; table child support is payable through June 2016 only and no ongoing periodic support is ordered thereafter given the child's employment and income; Mr. Cartwright is liable for specified lump-sum s.7 post-secondary expenses ($36,664 through 2018 and $3,850 for 2019 upon confirmation) apportioned as directed and enforcement by Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) is ordered.

Court imputed $12,000 of additional income to Mr. Stewart for 2008–2009 due to underemployment, diversion of income and unreasonable expense deductions, reduced child support to one child effective April 15, 2009 based on imputed income (resulting guideline support $253/month) and limited retroactivity to April 2009 because of the applicant's delay and blameworthy conduct; ordered contribution to post-secondary education of $250/month for eight months effectively offset against child support resulting in no change to the V.C.R.J. prior to April 2009.
