Summary
In Ontario, child support can be modified if circumstances change significantly, such as a shift in living arrangements or income. An ex-spouse can request a reduction due to undue hardship, which may include supporting additional dependents. The court evaluates financial situations, expenses, and obligations to ensure fairness and child welfare. Whether a specific amount, like $300, constitutes undue hardship depends on the overall financial context.Full Conversation
I am wondering if an ex can ask for a deduction in child support
Hey ****! In Ontario, an ex can request a change in child support if there is a significant change in circumstances, like a change in income or child care needs. Would you like more specific information on the process?
Up until now we have had */* access so I was paying him set off child support for 9 years. All three children now live with me *% of the time. He makes more money than me
Since all three children now live with you full-time and your ex earns more, you might be eligible to receive child support instead of paying. You can apply to the court for a modification of the child support arrangement based on these changed circumstances. Would you like guidance on how to start this process?
No, I want to know if he can request paying less due to undie hardship
