HEARD: Before the Honourable Chief Judge John D. Comeau
Judge of the Family Court of Nova Scotia
DECISION: January 25, 2011
SUMMARY: Application to vary an order that provides a parenting plan and request for Special Expenses. The Applicant father requested a change in parenting to one week on and one week off. Evidence was this would not work for the mother who was a nurse on shift work. Present order took that into consideration. The Respondent father disputes Special Expense receipts, although there were no arguments of the children’s activities.
ISSUE: Change in circumstance - review of payment of Special Expenses.
RESULT: Although there was two changes in circumstances (breakdown in communication and non payment of Special Expenses) the Court found it int the best interest to leave the parenting plan as is. The present order for Special Expenses was enforceable (Director Maintenance Enforcement advised) so it was ordered the Respondent father pay all Special Expenses and the mother pay to him 43% of the expenses. It was his duty to determine what had to be paid.
