What is the contribution of a father to his son's post-secondary education costs?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ferlisi v. Boucher, 2021 ONCJ 48 (CanLII):
[100] It is premature to make an order regarding the father’s contribution to the youth’s post-secondary costs. There are too many variables that can affect the calculation. First, he must attend post-secondary school. Next, if he attends school out-of-town, the guidelines approach may become inappropriate. See: Park v. Thompson, supra, par. 27. His ability to contribute to his own educational costs will need to be evaluated. It is unknown at this time if he will receive bursaries, grants, student loans or scholarships.
