Therefore, if you make the highest earner pay the taxes...you get more taxes. Guess what happened to the increased taxes? They use some of it to institute FMEP---the institution which chases guys to make sure they pay. Ugly legislation and I surely wish something could be done to change it. It is TOTALLY unfair!!!

More families have other children with their new family and they should put away what they first kid gets???? NOt fair!!!!!!! Women take advantage and then they get subsidize daycare??? No wonder we have $ problems in Canada. Single moms raping the government. Bull crap. This needs to change because it is not fair for the 2nd families.

Not to mention middle born children in which child support is paid trumps first born children!.my first born is not entitled to support. I have 2 Children living with me first born and 3rd born. I'm ordered to pay support under the One child amount, not 3. So yes, there is a clear problem in paying one child 600/mth and leaving me with 17$/mth to support the 2 living with me!

Acually its not even income...it's just free funds for them because the payor has to pay tax on these funds and the payee doesn't...it's just free money so to speak.

When all financials settle, and according to the tax documents even though I make more than twice what my ex does, she NETS 150% of my retained income. This is after all taxes payable are levied, and support has changed hands. This is not including "Extraordinary Expenses" which are chased with fervor by my ex. The guidelines need to be re-visited to exclude hidden spousal support.
