Newmarket Child Support Representation

Accurate, Results-Focused Support Advocacy

A family business owner’s true income for child support purposes often goes beyond the reported salary — retained earnings, discretionary draws, and personal expenses run through the business can all affect the real figure, and we dig into this directly for Newmarket clients.

Because the York Region Courthouse sits right in Newmarket, local clients have a genuine logistical advantage, though establishing a family business owner’s real income takes the same careful work it would anywhere else in Ontario.

Our Approach

How We Handle Your Support Matter

01
Free Consultation

We review the number of children, each parent’s income and parenting time, and explain what support will likely look like — no charge, no obligation.

02
Financial Disclosure

We gather full and current income documentation from both parents — the foundation of an accurate support calculation.

03
Calculating Support

We calculate table support under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, plus any section 7 special expenses, based on actual income, not assumptions.

04
Negotiation

We negotiate firmly to reach a fair support arrangement wherever possible, whether as part of a separation agreement or standalone.

05
Court Applications

Where agreement isn’t possible, we bring or defend support applications and advocate forcefully on your behalf.

06
Enforcement & Variation

We help enforce an unpaid support order through the Family Responsibility Office, and bring variation applications as circumstances change.

From My Experience: Newmarket Parents Underestimate How Much Income Determination Matters

A recurring issue with Newmarket clients is a family business whose real income takes real digging to establish.

The table support formula looks simple on paper, but the real dispute is almost always in what counts as income — especially where a parent is self-employed, paid partly in bonuses, or has income that fluctuates year to year. Knowing the York Region Courthouse well means we can advise you on what a judge would realistically order if your matter ever became contested, which helps us negotiate a fair outcome without needing to go to court at all.

If you are facing a child support matter in Newmarket or elsewhere in York Region, come talk to us before any number is finalized. The consultation is free and there is no obligation: 416-274-2222.
