MySupportCalculator.ca
Website containing a support calculator, a directory of family lawyers, and FAQ about child/spousal support. The calculator performs very simple and basic child and spousal support calculations under Canadian federal law based on the information you provide. It's intended to provide a "ballpark" figure that would then need adjusting in accordance with the specific factors of your case. The Legal Services Society doesn't claim these figures are precise or accurate nor does it endorse the lawyers listed on this site.
