What is the test for support for an adult child who is enrolled in full-time education?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Erickson v. Erickson, 2007 NSSC 333 (CanLII):
Moreover, “the mere fact that an adult child is enrolled full‑time in a course of education is not sufficient by itself to justify an order for support”. Each case and a number of relevant circumstances must be examined (See Jarzebinski v. Jarzebinski, [2004] O.J. No. 4595, at para. 19).
