Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
 
Below are some examples of questions often asked by clients in various areas of law.  Although not intended to be relied upon absent advice from a lawyer who has discussed your particular fact situation, you may find some of the information useful as a starting point in your legal inquiry.


Family Law

Do the guidelines take into account any special circumstances in a divorce or separation agreement?

The Divorce Act recognizes that there are special circumstances when the amount in the guidelines may not be appropriate.
 
For example, if the paying parent transferred the family home, without being compensated, to the other parent so the children would not have to move, the amount in the guidelines may not be fair.  Both parents would have to agree that this is the case or a court would have to rule on the matter.
