Child & Spousal Support questions from Credit Valley
How is child support calculated for Credit Valley parents?+
By the Federal Child Support Guidelines: the paying parent's gross annual income and the number of children set the table amount, and special expenses like child care and medical costs are shared in proportion to incomes on top.
Is spousal support automatic after separation?+
No — entitlement must exist first, whether compensatory (career sacrifices during the relationship), needs-based, or contractual. Once entitlement is established, the Advisory Guidelines suggest ranges for amount and duration.
My income changed. Does support change automatically?+
No. The existing order or agreement continues — and arrears accumulate — until it is formally changed by agreement or a Motion to Change. Move early when a real change is coming.
Where do you meet Credit Valley clients?+
By Google Meet, or at our Mississauga office — about 25 minutes via Mississauga Road and Highway 401. Bring recent tax returns and pay information for the most useful first meeting.
