In what circumstances will a court order a father to pay child support for the cost of busing to a special school?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from N.L-C. v. J.C., 2019 ONSC 6207 (CanLII):
In Dalglish v. Pfannenstiel, [1999] O.J. No. 3976, Aston J. found that the cost of school busing to transport the child to attend a special school outside of the school district boundaries where he lived qualified as one instance of additional support under section 7 of the Child Support Guidelines. Other costs to enroll the child in summer camp or in a theater group did not meet the test of being “extraordinary” under section 7. The trial judge found them to be “reasonably necessary” and therefore declined to order the father to contribute to those expenses.
