New Child Support Guidelines in Force Starting January 1, 2012 !
The FRO SOLUTION has been developed by Michael J. Marra to provide basic legal information regarding family support payments. Obtaining or changing orders for child or spousal support, children's special expenses or arrears can be complex and confusing. Enforcement of family support payments is stressful. The Family Responsibility Office (the "FRO"), Ontario's maintenance enforcement program (MEP), has a legal duty to enforce child support orders, separation agreements, and divorce judgments.
Making late support payments or making no payments at all combined with child support order enforcement by FRO can result in a 50% wage garnishment, bank and property seizure, negative credit bureau reports, driver's licence suspension and passport suspension as well as default hearings leading to prison sentences.
Your FRO and support payment issues can be solved
Changes can be made to monthly child support payments and in some situations the arrears can be adjusted as well. There are a number of options available to support payors who are facing aggressive enforcement action by FRO. Immediate legal advice is available and crucial in these situations. There are several alternatives when dealing with FRO - among them Family Court Variation Applications and Motions to Change the monthly payment.
