not paying support can i keep the kids
Support is not access and access is not support. As much as you want support you cannot hold your children for ransom. You will need to pursue the NCP in court either for arrears or for a change to access.

when do i need a new child support agreement in ontario
In simple terms, whenever you want but consider the costs for all parties involved and your motivation. If the payor's income has increased significantly there may be a need for adjustment. If this cannot be worked out amicably, then a lawyers, a mediator, and/or the courts would be required.
child support guidelines ontario-until what age do i support the child, Do I have to pay child support forever
The short answer is 18 years of age but it depends on your support agreement/support order and the whether the child has a disability.
under-the-table income "deadbeat dad"
If the NCP is not paying the "required" support and he is claiming to be destitute (broke) while earning under-the table, you will need to establish his income sources and give these to the FRO.
refuses to keep visitation schedule
There's not much you can do aside from keeping records. Stress to the refuser that the child's well-being is the priority. That said, if he refuses and you've kept records, sole-custody is an option, denial of visitation is possible (by court order) and this does not get him off the hook for CS. Some NCPs will complain about this, but if they've rejected the child they're still on the hook but the access is removed.

Reduction can (theoretically) be reduced in court. You will need to establish that your earnings have decreased, you may need to go to court. If the custodial parent is agreeable you may fill out a form 15 and 15A. If not, start with a form 15 and hope the courts are on your side. Follow the references on the links page.

My husband is paying child support for a child in Alabama and we live in Ohio. We are paying 800.00 per month. The child is 4. Before the child was born the mother married someone else. She left the state after the baby was born. My husband offered to legalize child support and visitation and she refused it. He tried for 6 months to find her and her family told him they would call the police if he kept it up. Now after 4 yrs she comes and takes him to court and gets 12,000 in back support and 613.00 in current support for one child? We are in financial stress over this. Something has to be done.
Hi Dianne, This is a fact of life in the Child Support Game. What may help your husband is if he kept any proof that he attempted to initiate child support. It may fall on deaf ears, but it's worth the effort to bring it up. As it stands he knows he owes the money (in reality, if not fairness) and his best best is to go into court agreeing to pay $613 + 200 per month to pay down arrears. This would show intent to pay. Ideally, hind-sight suggests that he could have started paying the support he knew he owed into a separate account in the event that he ever needed to pay it. This does not ease your frustrations I'm sure, but it's something others can learn from.

Hello,
In my search for answers of why the FRO treats me the way they do and how to battle against them intelligently I came across your [personal] web page: http://www3.sympatico.ca/cstech/pers_CS.htm . It was very refreshing due to the fact that there seems to be an abundance of info for recipients of support, but not for the payers. I do not go to the extent of thinking everything is a conspiracy from the Government, If I did however, I would say this is one of them.
It is very frustrating trying to deal with them and resolve problems, which I might add, have all been caused by them. True, I am the one who brought my son into this world, short of that FRO has done nothing but turn a simple "Pay this amount and live happily ever after" into a disgusting, painful and utterly excruciating journey through hell.
How one organization could destroy Families, lives and finances all in one step and go unnoticed by society (except for the ones standing at "ground zero") is beyond me. Short of being called a deadbeat dad by the receptionists at the FRO, I have come to the conclusion that the only category for payers, in the eyes of the FRO, is deadbeat dad. I say this because I do pay child support on time, every time. I have a special folder on my computer dedicated solely to the payments I make to them.
I will stop here. I have e-mailed organizations with my information before and most of them are no longer around or no longer have valid e-mail addresses. I have something that I would like you to read in regards to the FRO and my experiences with them which may help others and myself out into understanding why the FRO is doing the things it does. If you would like to read my "trials and tribulations" with the FRO. I will gladly e-mail it to you. If not, thanks for the helpful information provided in your website.

2005.05.11 - from "Shannon"
hello, my name is shannon, i live in florida with my 3 children and a husband who was recently incarcerated for not paying child support. we have been married for 7 years and when we first met he was virtually homeless fighting a drug addiction which (by the way i didnt know about at the time) but i saw something in him and it progressed from there he has been a wonderful husband and father ever since i knew he had other children and i knew he had been in and out of jail for just stupid kids stuff but i just didnt realize how bad it was gonna get. hes been in no trouble since we have been married and has made the comment many times how he would love to see his kids but he was so afraid of going back to jail he seems to not be as nieve about the system as i since the closest i have ever been to the law is when they was arresting him last friday. anyway he just thought he was in to deep to fix things without serving time he owed to much . now dont get me wrong i understand the child support issue i have 2 children that i dont recieve support from , i never wanted money to be the reason there father stayed away. but i just dont understand how our family suffering financially and emotionally is going to fix the child support. im scared and i dont know what to think of all this can he really be in jail away from me and our children for 2 years there has to be another way . If nothing else thanks for listening
shannon
Hi Shannon,
I read. I understand. I commend you for raising two children without support. I don't expect women to do this, but it is good to see women who do make the choice [when the father is not a reliable source of income].
As for your husband. Well... I don't know Florida law and I can only suggest one resolution in light of the way the system typically treats men in this scenario. Find the money, pay them off, or at least start the process. Do what you can to find a WORKABLE repayment schedule. Use legal aid as necessary to reduce support amounts if applicable, but work towards repayment.
It's not right, it is reality.
