Understanding Child Support in Alberta

In Alberta, child support is governed by the Federal Child Support Guidelines and is designed to ensure that both parents continue to financially support their children, even after the end of a relationship. Key aspects of child support include:

  • Calculation: Child support payments are calculated based on the paying parent’s income, the number of children, and other factors. The guidelines provide a framework for determining the appropriate amount.

  • Responsibility: Both parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children, and child support is typically paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent.

  • Modifications: Child support orders can be modified in the event of significant changes in circumstances, such as changes in income, custody arrangements, or the child’s needs.

We understand that every family is unique, and child support arrangements should reflect the specific needs and circumstances of the children involved. Our experienced family lawyers take a client-focused approach to child support matters:

  • Negotiation: Whenever possible, we aim to reach a fair and mutually agreeable child support arrangement through negotiation or mediation.

  • Enforcement: We assist custodial parents in enforcing child support orders and non-custodial parents in understanding their obligations.
