Canada's child support guidelines - first decade of fiction

Did you know that: (1) our child support guidelines rely on a formula to calculate all the levels of child support? (2) that the child support formula assumes that the paying parent has NO access, when the access parent's actual access can be up to 40%? (3) that the assumption of no access result in more than doubling all the levels of child support for the average access parent? (4) that the assumption was labelled as "legislative fiction” by a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada on November 10, 2005? (5) that even a paying parent with an access of 40% or more is treated unfairly by our child support guidelines?

If you want to know more about these and other problems with our child support guidelines, read "Child Support Guidelines, 1997 to 2007, First decade of fiction"
