Courts rarely issue orders for no child support. The responsibility to provide child support is almost inescapable unless there’s undeniable proof that the children’s needs are fully met, which is uncommon. Thus, when children are involved, it’s prudent to prepare for child support obligations.
In Ontario, Canada, child support is regulated by two distinct Acts. If child support claims are part of a divorce process, they fall under the Federal Divorce Act. On the other hand, for couples who were either never married or were married but opt for separation instead of divorce, the Ontario’s Family Law Act is the guiding legislation for child support applications.
