Your children are the most important people in your life and it is important that their lifestyle is not affected by the separation or divorce of their parents. The most common concern we hear about at our family law office is parents who are worried about child support, one parent fears they are paying too much and the other parent worries about receiving too little.
Usually, the primary caregiver will incur the most of the expenses in the raising the child, so the other parent should help by giving money to help raise the child, which is the basic principal behind child support in Ontario.
The amount of child support that is received or provided is determined based on: Ontario Child Support Guidelines, which looks at the annual income of both parents, the number of children the couple had together and the custody agreement, as well as Section 7, which is an additional amount intended to cover expenses, such as extracurricular activities or school.
