Extensive Understanding Of The Child Support Guidelines

Ontario child support calculations are generally a reflection of the support payor’s income. Your income generally determines what base or “table amount” you are obligated to pay. These calculations also take into consideration the number of children you have. But while the Child Support Guidelines provide direction regarding payments, deviations sometimes are necessary. Special circumstances sometimes change things.

There are exceptions to the general every day scheme of the Child Support Guidelines concerning unique custody and access situations. Also, special rules regarding payments are applicable when it comes to equal access time. These rules include the evaluation of special and extraordinary expenses, also known as “section 7 expenses”.
