Both parents have a responsibility to financially support their
children. The parent with the primary residence of the child is
entitled to receive child support from the non-custodial parent,
subject to certain exceptions. Child support is payable to cover the
child’s expenses including food, shelter, and basic necessities. The
amount of child support to be paid in Ontario is set out under the
Child Support Guidelines. Under the Guidelines, child support
payments are based on the income of the parent with whom the child
does not primarily reside.
