What is the test for having a child with an adult partner in a child support case?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.A.D. v. M.P.W.D., 2000 ABQB 167 (CanLII):
In Law v. Law, supra, Fleury, L.J.S.C., observed at 463: "A father-child relationship is more than a simple economic dependency. The father is burdened with heavy financial responsibilities and the child has a 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." This passage was cited with approval in Farden v. Farden, supra, and Anderson v. Anderson, supra.
