British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from A. v. B., 2013 BCSC 60 (CanLII):
The facts as they now exist have resulted in private school costs being an expense that the parties can no longer afford. The private school is not a necessary expense and is no longer reasonable. “It may well be delightful and instructive for a child to attend such a place, but this... is, in part, about “need” and “means”: Wait v. Wait, 2000 BCCA 406 at para. 15.
