What is the proper basis for a variation order?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wrobel v. Wrobel, 1994 CanLII 9190 (AB QB):
Neither of these arguments form the proper basis for a variation order. The circumstances complained of by the applicant predate the existing order and as such, do not amount to a change in circumstances since that order. In such instances, the court lacks the jurisdiction to make a new disposition: Mroz v. Mroz, supra.
