Is a child attending school with a view to bettering his future need to live at home?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.R.C v. L.L.C., 1998 ABQB 212 (CanLII):
I conclude from that case and the cases cited therein that a child attending school with a view to bettering his future need not live at home (Bates v. Bates) as O.S.C. is, need not be in full time attendance as O.S.C., in effect, is and may be earning income which is not enough to cover his expenses of schooling and ordinary living, may remain a child of the marriage. I am satisfied that as long as O.S.C. is working so hard to better himself, he is a "child of the marriage", and it is not realistic to expect him to earn other income because requiring him to do so would just prolong the time of his dependence.
