What is the cut-off age for adult child support if the child is enrolled in a full-time program of education?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Simone v. Van Nuys, 2021 ONCJ 652 (CanLII):
[111] There is no set cut-off age for adult children enrolled in a full-time program of education. A case by case analysis is required. The older the child, the harder it is to justify continuing the support. See: Douglas v. Campbell, 2006 N.S.J. No. 350.
