Child Support

Child support is the right of the child and ensures they continue to receive the financial support needed to thrive after a separation. It covers essential expenses such as food, clothing, and housing, and may also include special or extraordinary costs, including health-related expenses, education, and extracurricular activities.

In Ontario, child support is generally determined using the Federal Child Support Guidelines, which take into account the paying parent’s income, the number of children, the parenting arrangement, and the child’s specific needs.
