I’ve been head-down and pulling for the last 15 years and my 2 kids are coming of age. By Canadian law I believe I still have to support her mother, while the eldest is in university, even if the younger son legally moves on first.
Is this true?Lawyer.
Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.
I hope it’s over soon brother
skip the cavernous vag and go your own way
Anonymous43check with a lawyer, and then expect some judge to f~~~ it all up for reasons.
My understanding of it is you are responsible for each child up to 18 and up to an extra 4 years of post secondary. Support payments for each child are considered separate so you should get a reduction if the youngest is over 18 and not attending school regardless of what the other siblings situation is. If your ex has insisted on getting the eldest child’s support payment even though the kid is in residence you might want to have a talk with them. I worked out an arrangement where I pay my eldest (same situation as you) the child support directly. Still costs the same but at least I know my child, who I love dearly, will get all the money and my ex, who I don’t love dearly, will get none.

That’s really how it should be.
Maybe you can negotiate, through your lawyer, a lump sum settlement so you can be free of that burden.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)
Get a really good lawyer.
A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!
Here Ontario Family Law blog spells it all out without the $400/hr lawyer fees
forget the lawyer. none of what you have going is complicated. I went with a lawyer and the guy was utterly useless. the only actions he took were ones that sabotaged me and made him money. that’s all that guy was about.
alimoney is separate from child support. child support continues to the age of majority. age of majority is determined by the province the child lives in. 18 for ontario. 19 in BC.
child support continues past the age of majority if the child is attending school full time. There are conditions. the child must not be going to school simply because there is nothing better to do. The criteria were established in Farden v Farden.
If the adult child cuts you off, you are probably no longer obligated to pay child support. You are entitled to progress reports, including marks. If you ask but do not get progress reports, that’s a point on your side, and the courts will move to your side. I got a favourable ruling on another matter when the other side refused to divulge any progress info, and the judge was visibly annoyed with my opponent.
also, if you don’t know what blameworthy behaviour is, you better look it up. it’s a legal term and it doesn’t mean what you think it means. ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Ok if I wash that Red Pill down with some Red Rum?

Is this true?What do you mean by support?
There are two types of support: spousal support (i.e. alimony) and child support. If you’re referring to spousal support, then that has little to do with the child’s age. Typically, spousal support is paid until a specified date in a court order is reached.
If you’re referring to child support, then the child’s age is a factor. Generally speaking, child support stops when the child reaches the age of 18 (some provinces may be 19); however, there are factors when child support will continue past this age. Two examples that come to mind:
– the child is “disabled” (i.e. down syndrome) and will be dependent for his/her entire life; or
– the child is attending post secondary education.You said that your eldest is in university; therefore, you still have to pay child support while she is doing her undergrad. If she is living in residence, but the primary residence (which is typical the parent’s address) is listed with the mother, then you still have to pay child support. Further, you’ll be on the hook to pay a portion of the tuition fees in addition to the child support. Your portion is calculated based on your income relative to the mother (similar to how daycare and extra-curricular activity expenses were divided up).
