    Understood, and thanks. Address the "dynamic" payment issue (ongoing payment/overpayment).

    For example…my husband’s support payments were out of date for four years due to court. In the settlement conference they calculated what they were supposed to be as well as what they would be set at for the remaining two years. His minutes of settlement said something along the lines of the respondent agrees to pay xyz by date related to an underpayment of support for the years abc. The respondent agrees to pay $$$ monthly for support of child until date or such time as kid is no longer a child of the marriage.

    That way the underpayment was enforceable as was the monthly support.

For instance if you overpaid $120 and your monthly support is $150, you need your order to say $140 per month until one year from the date. Then have a new line that says the amount after that.

    It is difficult when it involves overpayments. If there is an underpayment. Make sure it says the amount you have to pay as arrears and then the monthly amount going forward.

    It sounds complicated but when you put it in terms of the amounts to pay, it works.

    Google how to update a FRO order. The Government has guides on how to do it. For wording please review the link below:



    wording here https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r08182




    I don't think the judges or whoever take on the responsibility for making sure the wording is right. They are not clerks but I think with the consent and approval of the judge you did get you may have prevented a future headache of disagreement.


    The rules about if a current order has to be updated or can simply be superseded by a new order can be found here:

    It is not rocket appliances, give it a go.
    Appreciated Terryfyde!

    Interesting links: appreciated!

    It's certainly prudent to be mindful of the scope of any entity's legal jurisdiction. (the links you referenced provide this context).

    Takeaway: present legal documents (orders) to FRO in terms they are able to action = reduction of child support in $ amount...

    FRO does not do anything unless they have a number amount. They don�t even calculate percentages.

    Hopefully: by presently this information (with an exact child support overpayment dollar amount), a judge will provide this clarification request order; which FRO shall then action.

    Note: recognizing the order from last week, FRO placed a "freeze" on enforcement of the initial 2018 Divorce Order (child support); pending receipt of a "new order" following the order from last week. (dollar amount)

    Why?: as a federal gov't employee, I was a victim of the Phoenix pay system and overpaid one year, while it was "clawed back" the next year.
    CRA NoA was therefore inaccurate, and Employer Letter of Income was to be utilized as basis on which support owing could be calculated.

    FRO stated they are unable to action two paragraphs in the court order; rather they need precise $ amount(s) or percentages.

    Anyone have insight if FRO may be able to make these calculations, or rather; is a Clarification of Court Order required?
