Family Law | Child Support

Kids change. Circumstances change. So too should child support.

Maybe you’re stretching too far. Maybe you’re not getting enough. Either way, we help you bring support back in line with real life.

Let's Talk

Thoughtful,
helpful,
kind.

Going through a divorce is a very stressful life event that you hope you never have to be in. I am very pleased that I made the decision to have Celeste, Alexia and the team at Hepburn + Glass help me navigate my divorce. Over the entire process they were kind, thoughtful, thorough, meticulous and helpful. They made the situation easier to manage and hopeful to a fair and favourable resolution. I would highly recommend Hepburn + Glass if you are in need of a family law lawyer.

Asked
Questions

  • We’ll help you understand your options for enforcement, whether that’s working through the Family Maintenance Enforcement Agency (FMEA) or taking legal action. You don’t have to chase it alone. And the sooner you act, the better your chances of recovering what’s due.

  • Absolutely. A lot of people come to us with existing agreements that no longer reflect reality. We’ll review what you have, tell you if something’s off, and help you update it so it actually works. It’s common, and we know exactly how to handle it.

  • Yes. We work with parents on both sides of the issue. If you're paying more than what makes sense based on your income or the current circumstances, we’ll help you assess and request a fair adjustment. The goal is something balanced—not punishing.

  • Not necessarily. Many child support matters can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. But if court is the best path forward, we’re fully prepared to represent you with clarity and confidence. We’ll help you avoid unnecessary conflict, but we’ll also show up when it counts.

  • Now. The sooner you understand your rights and obligations, the fewer mistakes you’ll have to clean up later. Even one conversation can save you months of stress. It’s about starting smart, not scrambling later.
