Is it possible to recover child support arrears in small claims court?
I am in Canada, and have been unable to find information that a friend needs on collecting back child support payments.
She was awarded over $2500.00 in what was owing, plus he was ordered to pay a regular amount each month, plus extra to cover the outstanding balance.
He hasn't paid any of it.
He is self-employed, and declares only a small fraction of what he earns.
FRO (Family Responsibility Office) has not acted upon this court order, to collect anything, even assets, and they are in a legal position to do.
The debt just keeps adding up, month after month.
Is it an option for a person to file a small claims court action, for the $2500.00 she was already awarded in court over two years ago?
