Family Law Tools
Quick, free tools to orient yourself before you talk to a lawyer. They provide general information, not legal advice.
BC Child Support — Table Lookup
Base child support in BC comes from the Federal Child Support Tables, using the paying parent's gross annual income and the number of children. Enter yours, then look the exact figure up in the official Government of Canada tool — we link you straight to it rather than approximating, because the table amounts are precise.
This tool provides general legal information and estimates only — it is not legal advice, and every situation depends on its facts.
Parenting-Time Percentage Calculator
Count the nights per year the children spend with you, and see where you sit relative to the 40% threshold that matters for shared-custody child support (s. 9 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines).
This tool provides general legal information and estimates only — it is not legal advice, and every situation depends on its facts.

This tool provides general legal information and estimates only — it is not legal advice, and every situation depends on its facts.
Numbers are a starting point — your facts decide the outcome.
