Child Support Guidelines in Canada, 2024

Do you have to pay child support in Canada after a child turns 18? When they go to university? If you give up rights? How far back can retroactive child support go? Can parents agree to no child support? The newest edition of Child Support Guidelines in Canada is designed to provide a clear, comprehensive analysis of the case law and to provide a quick and efficient way for readers to access pertinent information on all aspects of the Federal Child Support Guidelines and corresponding provincial guidelines. This book is a "meat-and-potatoes" analysis that is written primarily for practicing lawyers and judges who serve in the trenches of family warfare. The book describes what judges have said and done without engaging in any socio-economic evaluation of the Federal Child Support Guidelines. This is a companion volume to Payne and Payne's Canadian Family Law.
