1. How Covid19 Affects Child Support in Ontario.
00:39
The pandemic has wiped out many industries and parents have lost their jobs.
00:47
A loss of employment could cause a change to the quantum of child support
00:53
that the support parent is usually required to pay.
00:57
Parents need to be reasonable and accommodate requests to
01:00
adjust child support in light of the economic impact of the pandemic.
01:06
If you are seeking to either change child support obligations,
01:10
it is important that you provide written notice and supporting documentation to the other parent.
01:17
FRO (Family Responsibility Office) will only enforce court orders or written agreements.
01:24
If the other parent does not agree to change child support,
01:28
then you may need to go to court to ask the judge for a new order.
01:52
2. Child Support.
01:56
All dependent children have a legal right to be financially supported by their parents.
02:01
When parents live together with their children, they support the children together.
02:07
Parents who do not live together often have an agreement or an arrangement in place
02:12
in which a child lives most of the time with one parent.
02:16
That parent is said to have custody of the child,
02:19
although that language is recently changing with the Divorce Act.
02:23
This arrangement can be written in a separation agreement or court order, sometimes called legal custody,
02:31
or may occur without a written agreement or court order, sometimes called “de facto“ custody.
02:38
Either way, the parent with custody has the main responsibility for the daytoday
02:44
care of the child and has most of the ordinary expenses of raising the child.
02:51
The other parent should help with those expenses by paying money
02:55
to the parent with custody. This is called child support.
