Modify Child Support Payments

ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS:

1. Your child must be of legal age and financially independent.
2. If you do not already have a Mediation Agreement, you will be offered to go to mediation (the government of Quebec pays for up to 5 hours of mediation, depending on your specific situation). If you do not agree to go to mediation, additional costs may occur.
3. Your ex-spouse must want to participate in this joint (and online) procedure. 

You must complete the smart form.

We will send your ex-spouse an email (and a phone call if deemed necessary) to invite them to fill out a form and provide us with their relevant information.

PLEASE NOTE: you must provide your ex-spouse’s valid email address as this is how we will communicate with them. We highly recommend that you let your ex-spouse know that they should expect an email from us. They might also want to check their spam email folder.

Once we received both forms, which confirm that both parties have agreed to proceed to the modification of child support payments, a lawyer will be assigned to your case in the next three (3) business days. 

You may ask for a refund anytime within 48 hours upon the reception of your ex-spouse’s form.

The lawyer will have sent you the link for your video conference beforehand. During that meeting, they will confirm certain details and may ask you to provide additional documents relevant to your case.

Within seven (7) business days following your session with the lawyer, assuming you have provided all the required documents, the latter will send you the completed paperwork to modify your child support payments by email.

You will then need to sign them and bring them to the nearest courthouse*.

*Fees of $163 (non-taxable) will be payable directly to the courthouse.

According to our Terms of Service, you may request a full refund up to 48 hours following the completion of both forms.

After those 48 hours, we may issue a partial refund according to our Refund Policy.
