What is the test for a proportionate share of a child's private school tuition expenses?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.D. v. Y.P., 2015 BCSC 321 (CanLII):
There must be evidence beyond just the belief of the recipient parent or the child that private school tuition is a necessary expense. In Dick v. Dick, 2000 BCSC 780, the plaintiff’s application for a proportionate share of private school tuition expenses was dismissed because there was no evidence of the child’s performance in public school against which to measure the change to private school.
