Providing for your children is both a legal obligation and a deeply personal responsibility. Child support ensures that children’s needs are met, even during separation or divorce.
Children are entitled to financial support from their parents, and it’s common to have questions about how that obligation works during divorce or separation. Child support is calculated under the Child Support Guidelines based on factors such as parental income, number of children, and parenting arrangements. Additional expenses — including childcare, medical and extracurricular costs — may be shared proportionally.
