What is the difference between the federal and the Yukon Child Support Guidelines? How do I know which Guidelines apply to me?
The federal and the Yukon Child Support Guidelines are very similar, and both use the same Yukon Tables to determine the amount of child support that must be paid when the paying parent lives in the Yukon. If you and the other parent are divorced, Canada’s Divorce Act and federal Guidelines apply to you. If you and the other parent were never married, or are separated but not yet planning to divorce, the Yukon Family Property and Support Act and Yukon Guidelines apply to you. While there are some minor differences, the main thing most people would notice is that some of the forms and procedures are different.
