Pullin v. Ryan

The Consent Variation Corollary Relief Order lacked the requisite clarity and specificity to be enforced; the court varied the prior order and fixed child support for the adult child under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, ordering each parent to pay $3,500 yearly toward the university deficit but specifically requiring the respondent to pay past amounts of $8,385 immediately (to be collected by the Maintenance Enforcement Program) and $3,500 annually each September while the daughter remains enrolled, with payments made to the applicant to ensure enforceability.

  • Interpretation of consent order
  • Federal child support guidelines s.3(2)
  • Section 7(1)(e) - post-secondary expenses
  • Variation of orders
  • Contempt and enforcement requirements
