What is the obligation of a parent to contribute to the university expenses of a dependent child over the age of majority?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.I.F. v. C.G.M., 2015 NSSC 269 (CanLII):
In Strecko v. Strecko, 2013 NSSC 49 I discussed the child support obligation when a child is over the age of majority and I also discussed the principles that will govern a determination of the obligation of a parent to contribute to the university expenses of a dependent child over the age of majority. I incorporate by reference this discussion and will apply the principles reviewed in Strecko.
