Common Questions
Support questions Etobicoke clients often ask.
Can Etobicoke clients get advice if payments were informal?
Yes. Payment proof should be gathered so support history can be reviewed accurately.
Can child care change the support amount?
It may affect special expense sharing, depending on the facts and records.
Is spousal support based only on income?
No. Entitlement, need, ability to pay, duration, and the relationship history also matter.
