==Child support and social assistance==


When a parent who is entitled to receive child support goes on welfare, the government agrees to provide support for that parent and his or her child. If there is someone else who might be obliged to support the child, such as another parent or guardian, the provincial government would prefer that this person pick up the tab rather than the taxpayer, and the government will usually come knocking on the other parent's door.
