What are the relevant cases in which a court has found that a child has changed to become a child of the marriage and is entitled to parental support under section 2 of the Divorce Act?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jonasson v. Jonasson, 1998 CanLII 3619 (BC SC):
Those three cases put the matter beyond dispute in this court. Of them, Miller v. Miller points to the time for which the maintenance is claimed as being the material time for which the qualification under section 2 of the Divorce Act should be considered. They satisfy me that it is open to the petitioner to claim that the son, through a material change in circumstances, has once again become a child of the marriage entitled to parental support. Whether he has done so will be a question of fact.
