The rules that apply in Montreal
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 Civil Code of Québec (the obligation of support, article 585 and following). Once there is an order or agreement, the Revenu Québec (support payment collection program) can collect and enforce payments. To update support without going to court, Quebec offers: SARPA, the administrative child support adjustment service run by the Commission des services juridiques.

Common questions in Montreal
Does Montreal have its own child support amounts?
No. Child support in Montreal uses the Quebec model when both parents live in Quebec, and the federal table for Quebec when one parent lives elsewhere in Canada. What matters is where the paying parent lives, their gross income and the number of children.
How much is child support in Montreal for one child?
Under the Quebec table, a parent earning $50,000 pays about $477 a month for one child, $555 on $60,000 and $909 on $100,000. When both parents live in Quebec, the Quebec model uses both incomes instead.
Which court handles child support in Montreal?
Family cases in Montreal are heard at the Palais de justice de Montréal, 1, rue Notre-Dame Est, Montréal (Québec) H2Y 1B6.
Where can I get free family law help in Montreal?
