  • Increase to Child Support

    I'm the receipient of child support - my ex-wife and I have exchanged our annual salary as per our agreement (and the judge's final order). Her income is higher and as a result, the table amount for child support has increased. She has agreed to pay the increase via Form 15D but I'm a little fuzzy on the rest of the process and what I need for filing. Oh, BTW, this is FRO enforced..when I look on the FRO website

    I have the Support Deduction Order (FRO-19) filled out, but most of that is filled in by the judge - correct? I basically just put the name of the court, location and courte file number of the original case/settlement?

    I also see that I need to fill out Support Deduction Order Information Form (FRO 21E).

    I am a bit lost on the Form 25 - Draft Order/Order General. I found the form and I'm trying to figure out how to fill this out. The top section with the case information (applicant, respondent and case number), that's all good but the rest of the page from "the court heard an application made by..." and everything following, I don't get - am I using the wrong form? There are no persons appearing "in court", unless they are referring to the original settlement/case? We never did go to court, we settled a few months before the court date.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Take all of the forms and go to the Family Law Information Cenre (FLIC) at your local courthouse.

    They will look at the materials you have and do a more thorough job walking you through the forms than someone on the internet.

      Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I'd rather not have to make two trips to get this done, it's not THAT complicated, just wanted to benefit from other's experiences here and that's what this forum is for.

        Would you rather it done right? The FLIC office will likely be better at assisting you than nearly anyone on this board.

        In matters like this, is two trips really that much of an inconvenience?

          Would be inclined to agree. Forms can get murky because everyone's information can be very unique and specific, thus dictating different answers.

          My ex and I did everything without lawyers and benefited a lot from getting direction from the court clerks.

            There was no offense intended to anyone, nor would it be everyone's cup of tea. I will say this, I managed to get through the system on my own so I'm pretty comfortable, confident and I'd think capable considering she had a lawyer. I just had a quick question about one form, I don't think it's necessary to make two trips to be honest. I'll call my EAP program, they will be able to tell me what's expected on it.
