When will a child of the marriage be deemed to have attended secondary school?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Hill v. Davis, 2006 NSSC 199 (CanLII):

Romilly, J.D. referred back to the often quoted decision of Farden v. Farden [1993], supra, indicating, once again, that: “. . . mere attendance at an educational institution does not automatically make a mature child a “child of the marriage”. Lackadaisical attitudes toward schooling, unrealistic educational plans, exceedingly long post secondary attendances and “going to college because there is nothing better to do” will all militate against a finding of child of the marriage status.”
