What You Need to Know to Save Money in Family Court
Looking at online comments about divorce, separation, child custody, parenting and family law, it is shocking how wrong they can be. In many cases, that misinformation can lead to bad choices that can cost spouses or parents big money, or even their kids. In this episode of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, Certified Specialist in Family Law, John Schuman, corrects those misconceptions to help keep people out of trouble. The myths busted in this episode are:
- The Child Support Guidelines are just Guidelines, you don’t have to follow them
- The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are the law and when the formula produces numbers, there must be spousal support.
- After separation, spousal support changes when the payor’s income changes, just like spousal support
- Support is based only on what a person’s total income is on his or her tax return
- When a parent doesn’t get along with their kids, the court won’t make the kids live with that parent
