 ===Arrears under the ''Divorce Act''===
-An application to cancel or reduce arrears is the same as to vary a child support order under the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' and is done pursuant to section 17.  See the section about [[Making Changes to Child Support]].
+If you have read the section in this chapter on [[Making Changes to Child Support]], know that an application to ''cancel'' or ''reduce'' arrears is much the same kind of application as one to ''vary'' a child support order where the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' is involved. It's made pursuant to section 17.
-The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' does not deal expressly with arrears; applications under the act to reduce arrears are simply variation applications. The test the court will apply is similar to the test it applies for orders made under the ''[[Family Law Act]]''. It is difficult to persuade the court to cancel arrears as you will see in the next section.
