Child Support Cases in London, Ontario
Child support is the entitlement of the child – the law generally recognizes that it is their right to be supported by their parents. Parents have a legal and financial responsibility to support their children, whether they have custody or not. Child support depends on the living arrangements of the children. If the children live primarily with one parent, the other parent is required to pay child support. In Ontario, child support is determined under the Ontario Child Support Guidelines and you will often hear lawyers talk about the “table amount” which refers to an index of support payment amounts based on how much the paying parent makes annually. If a Divorce has been claimed and is part of the court case, then child support is covered by the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
Even though we have standard guideline tables, determining child support is often not a simple task. It involves a consideration of how much time the child spends in the care of each parent, determinations how much the parents involved actually make even if they are not salaried, or if they are underemployed or temporarily unemployed. It involves consideration special or extraordinary expenses if the children have special medical or educational needs, if they are involved in extracurricular activities, or have other special needs.
How a London Ontario lawyer can help
Accurately determining the income of the payor (the parent paying the support) is critical for both the recipient and the payor when child support is being claimed. If the payor is self-employed, calculating their actual annual income can be very challenging and complex. There may also be situations involving part-time work, contractor work, or where the payor has methods available to him or her for sheltering money in a corporation or overseas.
Child support may also be affected by custody and access arrangements, and as noted earlier, by special expenses that are not covered by basic child support payments.
