Child Support

Upon separation, both parents are legally obligated to support their children financially. Under the Child Support Guidelines, child support is the child’s right and is intended to ensure they benefit from the financial means of both parents. Support includes basic table amounts as well as contributions to special or extraordinary expenses such as childcare, extracurriculars, and education. While online calculators can provide estimates, they often overlook important factors like parenting arrangements, income variations, and tax implications. Working with an experienced family lawyer helps ensure your rights and obligations are clearly understood and properly addressed
