Who pays child support in Ontario?
Any time parents of a child are not in a relationship, there is a responsibility for child support to ensure the child is taken care of financially. In the event one parent has a child greater than 60% of the time in that parent’s physical custody, the other parent normally has to pay the full amount of child support according to the law. However, the situation gets far more complicated in the event parents share time with a child or are close to sharing time with a child.
