Im in a support case and the judge has said that my son (ODSP) has to contribute to his own needs. He receives 250 for

Hello, thank you for the question.

How old is the child, and is the child living with you or the other parent?

Is the child permanently disabled? Can he go to school, or work part time?

And the judge ordered how much support from father, based on what income?

And so the court's conclusion of the child's contribution towards his own section 7s was in excess of his own income from ODSP? By how much?

How much did the court say was needed for basic needs? And how much was the special expenses? And how much is each person to contribute to each category? I don't have a picture of what was actually ordered. If the judicial endorsement is clear, can you send me a copy here?

So the judge ordered some of his basic needs monies to go towards his expenses. The judge has the authority to do that. If the judge ordered the child's contribution to be more than his income that would be a different issue altogether.

I can appreciate that you would have preferred a different result, but I don't see anything incorrect in that decision. I'm sorry that this isn't the result you wanted. What more is there to discuss about this topic?

He's in a unique position, and his needs will cause everyone to struggle. If I'm a judge, I'd likely have ordered something similar because there are only so many ways to slice up a pie as I've heard said in court.

You're free to explore appealing the decision, but unless you can find an advocacy group to support your case then the costs of the appeal won't make your victory worth it, and that's even if you win.

I wish I could tell you what you wanted to hear. But I'm not helping you if I do that. Anything further to discuss?

If I've answered you may I have a service rating please?

Thank you for the rating, that's great.

Good luck
