Is a child entitled to a contribution from the income earned by their parents as a result of their summer employment?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Albert v. Albert, 2007 CanLII 29972 (ON SC):

While adult children are normally expected to make a contribution from their summer earnings, they are not expected to contribute all of their earnings. It is recognized that children should also be able to realize a personal benefit from their earnings (Gagnier v. Gagnier).
