Family law – child maintenance – variation of interim order – changed circumstances – burden of proof – broad-brush approach – reasonable expenses – nanny costs – tutoring fees – extracurricular activities – self-represented parties – no order as to costs. The Court considered an application to increase interim child maintenance from $3,500 to $8,000 per month. The Court found the Wife failed to provide evidence for tutoring costs but accepted reasonable amounts for tutoring and extracurriculars. The Court calculated total reasonable expenses at $11,200 per month and ordered the Husband to pay half, varying the maintenance to $5,600 per month. No order as to costs was made as both parties were self-represented.
Outcome: Maintenance varied to $5,600 per month payable by the Husband to the Wife.
