Hello Everyone,
I am new on here.. Applicant Mother. I just received after 5 LONG MONTHS, my FINAL ORDER for CHILD/SPOUSAL SUPPORT. The matter was in Provincial Court and I have no idea why a single issue trial that lasted under 3 days, took THIS LONG to get the decision "released" - nonetheless - I have it now. Here's what I'm wondering - the retro amount is around $26k - and a new monthly amt. for both CS and SS has been established (we did not have an interim order). I have a 13 year old son - so... there is something in the final order that reads that the retro ($26grand) shall be paid in $200 monthly instalments (??!!) Am I reading that correctly?? So he has 12-13 years to pay this up? I thought THE F.R.O. dealt with enforcing arrears/retro/and all that is payable (CS/SS). IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETROACTIVE AND ARREARS? The Retro Amt mentioned above, was calculated back to the date of the application (SEPT 2008). Please, if anyone can enlighten me on this - that would be great.. Thanks so Much
