+ How can I determine this amount?
+
+

+ Do you and your spouse agree that ${{ total_guideline_amount }} is the child support amount? +
++ What is the amount that you and your spouse have agreed to? +

++ Discuss the conditions, means, needs and other circumstances of the child, and the financial ability of + each parent to support the child/children. +
+When you may need to adjust your income

+ +Undue Hardship
++ In any claim for hardship, the court also compares the standards of living of the two households. The court will + refuse a claim of undue hardship if it would result in the payor's household having a higher standard of living + than the recipient's. +
++ For more information on + undue hardship + refer to the Family Law of B.C. website. +
+ +What are special and extraordinary expenses?
++ The child support guidelines say that each parent is required to contribute to the special or extraordinary + expenses of raising the children (examples are listed below). These are expenses that go above and beyond what + is covered by the child support itself. In making decisions about what to spend on these special expenses, + consider: +
++ Either parent can claim special or extraordinary expenses. For example, if you're the payor and you're paying for + private school for your child who isn't living with you, you may still get the other parent to contribute. +
++ More details on what are + + generally considered special or extraordinary expenses + + can be found on the Family Law of B.C. website. +
+ +When the table amounts might not apply
+Judges (or masters) will consider making orders for amounts that are less than those shown in the tables if:
++ Also, children under 19 may no longer be eligible for child support if they get married or voluntarily leave + their parents' home for reasons other than family violence or intolerable living conditions. +
