Frequently Asked Questions: Family Law in Whitby

Child support is calculated by considering the following:

  • The number of children that require support
  • The paying parent’s residential province
  • The paying parent’s annual income before tax

Yes, it is possible for your ex to prevent you from relocating with a child you share, although this will likely plan on your parenting arrangements and decision-making responsibility. If you cannot agree about a relocation, a court will decide based on the child’s best interests.

Generally, you need to provide your ex with 60 days’ written notice of your relocation plan, and you must obtain consent or a court order to move the child. A lawyer can help you navigate this process. Our divorce lawyers in Whitby will guide you through the application and court order process.

Although you are not legally required to hire a lawyer to draft your separation agreement in Ontario, it is highly recommended that you do so as to ensure the agreement is fair, legally sound, and enforceable. 

It is also recommended that you and your ex both obtain independent legal advice (ILA) when reviewing the agreement.
