Difference between revisions of "Child Support"

The ''Divorce Act'' only applies to people who are or were married to each other, including parents and a parent and a stepparent who are married to each other. A court can only make an order for child support under the ''Divorce Act'' if it has or had the jurisdiction to make an order for the spouses' divorce: the spouses must be or have been legally married, and the spouse making the application must have lived in the province where the application is made for at least one year. Applications under the ''Divorce Act'' can only be heard by the Supreme Court.
