Beaver has been seeking $85,701 a month in spousal support, just over $33,000 a month in child support and 100 per cent of their child’s expenses, retroactive in each case to the date of their separation in 2013, according to court documents.
Hill attempted to have the case tossed out of court on the grounds that Ontario’s Family Law Act infringed on his Indigenous rights.

In the interim, Hill had been ordered to pay Beaver hundreds of thousands of dollars in court costs alone.
