When an application to vary a child support order is brought, one or both parties will have to produce fresh financial information. This information is almost always given in a ''Financial Statement'', which is [[Sample Supreme Court Forms (Family Law)|Form F8]] in the Supreme Court. The Provincial Court cannot issue orders under the ''[[Divorce Act]]''.
When an application to vary a child support order is brought, one or both parties will have to produce fresh financial information. This information is almost always given through a Financial Statement, Form F8 of Supreme Court Family Rules, which described a person's income, expenses, assets and liabilities and is given on the person's oath or affirmation like an affidavit. These are the rules about who may have to produce a Financial Statement:


*The payor must produce a financial statement dealing with his or her income if the payor is paying child support according to the tables.
*The payor must produce a Financial Statement dealing with his or her income if the payor is paying child support according to the tables.
*Both parties must produce financial statements dealing with income if custody is shared or split.
*Both parties must produce Financial Statement dealing with income if custody is shared or split.
*Both parties must produce complete financial statements covering income, expenses, assets and liabilities if there is a claim about the children's special expenses, a claim for undue hardship, the payor's income is above $150,000 per year, or one or more of the children are over the age of majority.
*Both parties must produce complete Financial Statement covering income, expenses, assets and liabilities if there is a claim about the children's special expenses, a claim for undue hardship, the payor's income is above $150,000 per year, or one or more of the children are over the age of majority.


These new financial statements give the court the information it will need to make a new child support order, if it is in fact willing to vary the original order.
