Is a father's failure to recognize his legal obligation to financially support his children?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.L. v. H.M., 2019 NSSC 244 (CanLII):
Here, not only does the Father fail to recognize his legal obligation to financially support his children, but he has failed to persuade me that there is any basis to vary his child support obligation as provided for under the October 29, 2014, order or to reduce or forgive his arrears. There has been no material change of circumstances since that order which is significant, long-lasting, and not one of his choice: Smith v. Helppi, 2011 NSCA 65.
