What is the onus on the father to establish that the child will not be entitled to child support beyond the age of 18?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Taylor v. Schultz, 2020 ONSC 5974 (CanLII):
The onus is on the father to establish that the adult children continue to be entitled to support past their eighteenth birthday: Motiram v. Latchman (2009), 2009 CanLII 23875 (ON SC), 70 R.F.L. (6th) 332 (Ont. S.C.). In this case, the father has not satisfied that onus. In these circumstances, I find that it is appropriate that child support terminate on June 30, 2020.
