Child Support

Child support lawyers in Canada are family law professionals who assist clients with the legal aspects of child support—the financial contributions a parent must make for the care and upbringing of their child after separation or divorce. These lawyers help ensure that child support arrangements comply with federal and provincial laws and are fair and enforceable.

Child support is a legal obligation typically paid by the non-custodial or lower-income parent to the other parent to contribute to the child’s expenses. In Canada, child support is primarily governed by the Federal Child Support Guidelines under the Divorce Act, along with provincial/territorial legislation for unmarried parents.

Child support covers:

Basic needs (food, clothing, shelter)
Sometimes additional "special or extraordinary expenses" (e.g., daycare, medical needs, education, extracurricular activities)

Services Provided by Child Support Lawyers

Legal Advice and Assessment
- Explain child support rights and obligations.
- Calculate support amounts using federal/provincial guidelines.
- Advise on income disclosure requirements and how support is determined.
Drafting and Reviewing Agreements
- Prepare child support agreements or clauses within separation/divorce agreements.
- Review existing support agreements for fairness and accuracy.
Negotiation and Mediation
- Negotiate support terms with the other party or their lawyer.
- Facilitate dispute resolution outside of court (collaborative law, mediation).
Court Representation
- Represent clients in court proceedings to establish, vary, or enforce child support orders.
- Present financial evidence, argue for appropriate support amounts, and respond to claims of undue hardship or income disputes.
Support Variation Applications
- Help clients seek an increase, decrease, or termination of support due to changes in income, parenting arrangements, or child needs.
Enforcement Assistance
- Work with enforcement agencies like Maintenance Enforcement Programs (MEP) in each province to collect unpaid support.
- Advise on remedies for non-payment (e.g., wage garnishment, license suspension).
Cross-Border and Special Cases
- Handle cases involving parents or income sources outside Canada.
- Assist with complex income structures (self-employed, fluctuating income).
