How long should post-secondary support continue?

In McCrea v. McCrea, [2005] O.J. No. 50 (S.C.J.), the court recognized that determining how long post-secondary support should continue was a difficult task but stressed that parents should not be legally obligated to provide for adult children indefinitely. Either the date on which a first degree is received, assuming continuous applied study at a reasonable level of success, or the date when the child reaches the age of 25, when independent borrowing is more readily available, is a reasonable cut off point for most cases where parties cannot otherwise agree (at para. 31).
