When Life Changes
Changes and variations to existing child and spousal support orders may be simple or complex depending on the circumstances of the case. In either case, a material change in circumstances must be established through evidence presented to the court. With the assistance of an experienced lawyer, clients are assured that their best case is put forward. The courts understand that life circumstances can change, but they require parties to show that the change was unexpected.

Changes to Parenting
Parents may have the right to have parenting arrangements, as well as support orders, reviewed by the court after showing a material change in circumstances. Relocation is one of the most challenging reasons a parent may request a change to an existing parenting agreement.
If both parents do not agree to the change, the court will conduct a thorough review and determine what is in the best interests of the child. Our firm provides skilled advocacy for parents seeking fair parenting arrangements that reflect their evolving circumstances while prioritizing the child’s well-being.
Retroactive Child and Spousal Support in Ontario
When income disclosure has been inaccurate or a support order has not been regularly reviewed, a claim for retroactive support may be appropriate. If a payor has misrepresented their income, delayed payments, or failed to disclose financial changes, the court may order retroactive adjustments to ensure fairness.
If you believe you are owed unpaid or underpaid child support or spousal support, we can help you navigate the legal process and pursue what you are rightfully owed.
