Court: Ontario family courts — court-specific procedure may differ
Section 7 expenses are specific child-related expenses that may be added to table child support when the guideline requirements are met.
The child-support guidelines permit certain special or extraordinary expenses to be shared in addition to the basic table amount. These can include qualifying child-care, medical, educational, post-secondary and extracurricular expenses, depending on the category and whether the statutory requirements are satisfied.
The gross price of an expense is not automatically the amount divided between the parents. The guidelines require consideration of subsidies, benefits, tax consequences and contributions from the child, and the remaining amount is generally allocated in proportion to the parents’ incomes unless the law or an agreement produces another result.
