Lawyers who mediate family law problems are called ''family law mediators'', and have additional training in mediation apart from their training as lawyers. In the same way, lawyers who arbitrate family law problems are called ''family law arbitrators'', and have additional training in arbitration apart from their training as lawyers. Because there are no rules about who can and who can't call themselves a mediator or an arbitrator, you should look carefully at the mediator's or arbitrator's credentials before you agree to use that person as your mediator or arbitrator. | Lawyers who mediate family law problems are called ''family law mediators'', and have additional training in mediation apart from their training as lawyers.

The [[Child Support Guidelines]] sets out the rules about how much child support should be paid, according to both the income of the person paying child support and the number of children child support is being paid for. For most people, the amount that should be paid is set out in a table at the end of the Guidelines. The Guidelines also sets out the rules about when child support can be paid in an amount different than what the tables say should be paid. | The [[Child Support Guidelines]] sets out the rules about how much child support should be paid, according to both the income of the person paying child support and the number of children child support is being paid for.
