Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: How Do Child Support Payments Work in Ontario?


The amount of support payable by separated parents in Ontario is strictly governed by the Child Support Guidelines.

The Guidelines tables establish basic child support obligations and are based solely on the payor’s income, number of children, and Province of residence.

Additional amounts may also be payable to cover special and extraordinary expenses incurred for a child’s daycare, medical care, education and extra-curricular activities.

These additional expenses are shared by the parents in proportion to their respective incomes.
