The rules that apply in Victoria
If you are divorcing, child support comes from the federal Divorce Act and the Federal Child Support Guidelines. If you were never married, or are separated but not divorcing, it comes from the Family Law Act (British Columbia). Once there is an order or agreement, the BC Family Maintenance Agency (Family Maintenance Enforcement Program) can collect and enforce payments. To update support without going to court, British Columbia offers: Child Support Recalculation Service.
