The following excerpt is from McCaffrey v. Dalla Longa, 2008 ABQB 183 (CanLII):
What is “appropriate or “inappropriate must be determined on a case by case basis: Sherlow v. Zubko (1999), 247 A.R. 66, 1999 ABQB 435, at para. 24. However, there is support for the general proposition that the Table amount may not be appropriate in instances where an adult child has left home to pursue post-secondary education.
