How is child support enforced?
The Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is a government agency that can enforce support payments that are in a:
- Notice of Calculation
- written agreement filed with the court
- court order
This means that FRO collects child support directly from the payor parent and pays that amount to the other parent.
And, if a payor parent misses a payment, FRO can do things like:
- suspend their driver’s licence
- report them to credit bureaus
- cancel their passports
