What constitutes an unilateral termination by an adult child of his relationship with the parent from whom he is seeking child support?

Of particular importance in the instant case is what constitutes “unilateral termination” by an adult child of his or her relationship with the parent from whom child support is sought. In Law v. Law, supra, Fleury L.J.S.C. concluded at p. 463 that: . . . where, as here, a mature child unilaterally terminates a relationship with one of the parents without any apparent reason, that is a factor to be considered by the trial judge in determining whether it would be “fit and just” to provide maintenance for that child. A father-child relationship is more than a simple economic dependency. The father is burdened with heavy financial responsibilities and the child has very few duties in return. It seems reasonable to demand that a child who expects to receive support entertain some type of relationship with his or her father in the absence of any conduct by the father which might justify the child’s neglect of his or her filial duties.
