Separated and divorced parents’ experiences with child support and related issues

This is the first known study in Canada to explore the views of parents regarding their experiences
with child support issues. Several issues related to child support that were shared by the respondents need
further exploration in the research, including the context of shared parenting time arrangements, the
experiences of victims of family violence, and reasons why some parents are not fulfilling their child support
responsibilities post separation and divorce. Further research is needed to address ongoing myths and
misunderstanding child support in the context of shared parenting time.
