Maintenance Enforcement Program for Western Canada

Divorced parents with their son visiting lawyer. Concept of child support

As part of a divorce settlement agreement, the court may order the payment of child support, spousal support or partner support.

What happens if the intended payor of this support fails to fulfill their obligations? Can you enforce payments and, if so, how do you go about claiming the arrears?

Alberta has a maintenance enforcement program designed to help recipients of support get the payments that they are due.
