Shared expenses?

In Ontario, there is provision in the Family Law Act which provides that the obligation to pay child support does not extend to a child who is 16 years of age or older and has withdrawn from parental charge. You would need to discuss the factual circumstances and legal implications with a lawyer of your choosing to determine whether or not your payments are legally required or entirely voluntary. The issue is whether the daughter made a free choice on her own free will or whether she was effectively driven away from the mother's home due to emotional, psychological or physical reasons for example due to the move and wanting to remain with friends to finish her high school. The second issue is how to calculate the amount of child support, and whether it should be based on the actual expenses and financial needs or the Table amount for one child or having regard to both of these sources of information, and once the amount of child support the oldest is entitled to has been determined then that amount needs to be allocated between you and your ex. It is best to consult with a family law lawyer to further discuss these issues.
