Frequently asked questions
Do we have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many families resolve matters by agreement. Court is available when agreement is not possible or not safe.
How is child support calculated?
Usually under the child support guidelines (the federal guidelines in a divorce, and Manitoba's guidelines otherwise), based mainly on income and the parenting arrangement.
Is my situation urgent?
If you or your children are unsafe, call 911. For urgent court protection, tell us straight away so we can advise on the options.
