Child Tax Credit -garnished?

[frustrated11]

New relationship with a new child, I pay support for a child of a previous relationship (there are some arrears and working on a variation order). Will the CCTB refund be garnished like the GST and federal income tax

If it is administered through FRO and your arrears are pilling up then yes, it can be a target for FRO to go after including GST rebates and income tax returns. FRO is nothing more than the government's collection agency - anything is fair game to them if you are in arrears.

so, you lose out on nay tax breaks for your other child as your ex gets to claim all of them, but then you are getting some funds to assist with your newest child in the 2nd relationship but they'll take that away from that child
