Scarborough Child Support Representation

Accurate, Results-Focused Support Advocacy

An unpaid child support order doesn’t require starting over — the Family Responsibility Office can garnish wages, intercept tax refunds, and suspend a driver’s licence or passport to enforce an existing order, and we help Scarborough clients get that enforcement process moving.

Being based here means Scarborough clients can meet with their lawyer in person easily for a child support matter, not just by phone. Support and parenting matters for Scarborough residents are generally heard at the Ontario Court of Justice in North York, and we appear there regularly.

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: Scarborough Parents Underestimate How Much Income Determination Matters

Working out of our own Scarborough office, I see how often a child support matter is really an enforcement problem, not a calculation problem.

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 Toronto Family Courts 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 Scarborough or anywhere else in Toronto, come talk to us in person or by phone. The consultation is free and there is no obligation: 416-274-2222.
