Divorce and separation are not difficult only for parents; children are often profoundly affected by what happens during this time. It is important to make sure that children are provided for during and after divorce through child support.
Ontario Support and Modification Lawyers
For more than 40 years, the firm of Hogben Mayhew Hill Barristers and Solicitors has been representing people in Barrie and the surrounding communities in Ontario. Our lawyer, Susanne Hayward, knows there is not a single approach that will resolve all child support and family law issues, so we listen to the needs of our clients and tailor our representation to their needs.
Child Support Guidelines in Ontario
Child support is determined primarily based upon the income of the parent who is obligated to pay, as well as the number of children the individual is supporting. However, there can be deviations from the normal circumstances as a result of such factors as unique custody arrangements, the amount of parent access and the special needs of a child.
Modification
When there is a significant change in the needs of the child, the custody arrangement or the financial circumstances of a parent, it is possible to modify child support agreements. We have experience with these matters and can help you seek modifications to bring your child support obligations in line with your current situation.
