Ensure we can file your agreement in the Supreme Court

To be eligible for filing in court, your separation agreement must include at least one of the following clauses: parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, or contact with a child.

To ensure we can file your agreement in the Supreme Court, it is crucial to have a clear outline of the support obligations. Below are some guidelines to help you word the maintenance order:

1. Specify which parent is responsible for making the support payments.
2. Provide each child’s name and dates of birth covered by the agreement.
3. State the commencement date of the support payments.
4. Please specify the frequency of payments (e.g., monthly).
5. Clearly state the exact amount of each payment.
6. The child support amount is determined based on the parents’ income, as outlined in the Child Support Guidelines.
7. Include provisions for terminating child or spousal support based on specific dates or events.

Additionally, if the maintenance order or agreement involves extraordinary expenses for a child, ensure that:

1. State the type of expense.
2. The name of the child for whom the expense is intended is mentioned.
3. Specify the amount one parent must pay the other parent for these expenses.
4. Include the date from which the expense payments are to begin.
5. State the frequency of the expense payments (e.g., monthly).
