Child Support and Full Income Disclosure

Courts in British Columbia discourage parents from privately negotiating child support amounts, as child support is the legal right of the child(ren) and must align with the Federal Child Support Guidelines. To ensure fairness, the paying parent must provide full income disclosure when determining child support obligations. Legal assistance can help navigate the disclosure process, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Family Law Act requirements.
