Mom and Dad should tell the daughter to go piss up a rope.

When sh'e short on cash, she'll come along pissing and moaning about her needs... Then, the grandparents can dictate the terms of a hard contractual agreement.... Seeing how this flaky snowflake, entitled millenial is so quick to call down the law, she'll get her payback with a formal contract fully enforceable under the law

There's a lot more to this story than a simple headline.


"
Grandparents are very occasionally required by court to make child support payments when they are determined to "stand in for a parent," which in most cases occurs because they have custody of the child.
Hunter and Deforge did have emergency custody of their granddaughter for eight months about seven years ago by order of the Children's Aid Society.
They were also officially made parties to a custody dispute between their son and the girl's mother, even though they say they weren't present in court when a judge made that decision."

So they had emergency custody for 8 months, seven years ago which means they should pay child support until the child is emancipated?

Seems to me the grandparents are the ones that are owed. Maybe they should try for sole custody since the mother obviously has severe mental problems.

Reading the article it seems like this a simple case of a court looking at the implications of the legal hoops surrounding custody and the changing rights of grandparents, not the total collapse of civilization.

It won't mean that all grandparents will have pay child support, just in particular cases like this.

Northern Ontario,
If the parent have any kind of money, Lawyer will argue anything to make a buck!
The fact that the grandparents didn't testify to anything in the original custody case, should show "arms length only involvement"
(Hope I have the term In proper context since I'm not a lawyer)

It's nice to hope the general public would entertain a rational explanation.


In the meantime, just enjoy the knee jerk, senile conservatives who are up in arms.
