Complete a detailed financial statement using Form 13.1 or Form 13 to determine child support payments in Ontario

Filing a financial statement for child support requires careful documentation of your complete financial situation. The process involves selecting the correct form and providing accurate financial details to ensure fair support calculations.

  • Use Form 13.1 for cases involving only child/spousal support
  • Use Form 13 if your case also includes property division claims
  • Document all income sources including salary, investments, and benefits
  • List monthly expenses related to children including:
    • Housing and utilities
    • Medical and dental costs
    • Educational expenses
    • Extracurricular activities
  • Attach supporting documents like pay stubs, tax returns, and expense receipts

Ensure all information is accurate and current, as these details directly impact the calculation of child support payments under the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
