> Child Support

Child support payments are provided by a non-custodial parent to assist in providing for the needs of the child. Child support payments help the custodial parent to meet any special needs a child has, as well as to cover the cost of food, clothing, education, health insurance, medical care and child-care.

The lawyers at Porco Levy Zavet LLP can assist you in negotiating a child support agreement in the event of a separation or a divorce. In addition, child support is required under Ontario law regardless of the marital status of the parents and if you believe you are entitled to child support but not receiving it, our lawyers can help you to get your child the support he or she deserves. Finally, if you have a support order in place and the non-custodial parent has failed to comply and pay the required support payments, the lawyers at PLZ law can help you to take steps necessary to force compliance and obtains support.

For those paying support, PLZ Law can also help you to understand your legal requirements and can assist you in determining when support payments are overly burdensome or when the payments should cease. We can help you to seek a modification of a support order and can otherwise work to protect your legal rights.
