Overview in 25 Clicks

This section will help you understand your Child Support arrangements for your children. There are two parts to Child Support:

• a regular Child Support payment, usually monthly; and

• the sharing of special or extraordinary expenses for children

You need to know:  

1. The parenting arrangements for each child

2. Your income, and your partner’s income ( including any adjustments)

3. Any special or extraordinary expenses for your children

Special or extraordinary expenses that are necessary and reasonable, are shared in proportion to each parent’s income. 

Calculating Child Support: Use the Child Support Guidelines.

Important Note:  You cannot deny the other parent time with a child or other parental rights even if they stop paying child support.  You can seek to enforce the payments by a court process.
