What do I do if my spouse isn't paying child support or spousal support?
Hi, my name is Ash Mazinani. I'm a divorce and family lawyer in Toronto. If you have a court order or agreement requiring your spouse to pay support, you may ask that it be enforced by the Family Responsibility Office, which is a government agency in Ontario that enforces court orders and agreements for the payment of support. If the payor refuses or fails to pay, the Family Responsibility Office may suspend their driver's license, suspend their passport, imprison them, as well as take other enforcement actions. If you do not have a court order or agreement for support, then you must proceed with a court application to seek this relief from the court and then seek to enforce it through the Family Responsibility Office.
