Contact the Family Responsibility Office (FRO) immediately to report missed child support payments
When child support payments are not being received, taking prompt action through proper channels is essential. The Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is the primary agency in Canada responsible for enforcing child support payments and has several enforcement tools at their disposal.
- Gather all relevant documentation, including your court order, payment records, and correspondence
- File a formal complaint with the FRO through their online portal or by phone
- Keep detailed records of all missed payments and communication attempts
- Consider consulting a family law professional for additional guidance
The FRO can implement various enforcement measures, including wage garnishment, bank account seizure, or suspension of the payor’s driver’s licence. They will investigate your case and determine the most appropriate course of action to secure your outstanding payments.
