Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about child support in Nunavut.

How is child support calculated in Nunavut?
Child support in Nunavut is calculated using the Federal Child Support Guidelines. The base amount (table amount) is determined by the paying parent's gross annual income and the number of children. Additional amounts may be ordered for special or extraordinary expenses under section 7 of the Guidelines, which are shared proportionally to each parent's income. Divorcepath automates these calculations and applies Nunavut's provincial tax rates to determine the net financial impact.
Where do I file for child support in Nunavut?
The Nunavut Court of Justice handles all family law matters. It is a single-level court that travels on circuit to communities, and some matters can be handled by telephone or video.
What forms do I need for child support in Nunavut?
In Nunavut, you will typically need a financial statement (Financial Statement) and an application or motion for child support. Divorcepath can help auto-populate these forms with data from your support calculation, reducing manual data entry and the risk of errors.
What if we have shared custody in Nunavut?
When a child spends at least 40% of the time with each parent, this is considered shared custody under the Federal Child Support Guidelines. In shared custody situations, child support is calculated using a set-off approach: both parents' table amounts are calculated, and the difference is paid by the higher-income parent. Divorcepath's calculator handles shared custody calculations automatically for Nunavut families.
How are special expenses (section 7) handled?
Special or extraordinary expenses (childcare, medical/dental insurance premiums, health-related expenses, education, extracurricular activities, and post-secondary education) are shared between parents in proportion to their incomes, after accounting for any tax credits or deductions related to the expense. Divorcepath automatically calculates the net cost and proportional sharing for Nunavut families, including Nunavut-specific tax credits.
Is the calculator accurate for Nunavut?
Yes. Divorcepath uses the current Federal Child Support Tables and applies Nunavut's specific provincial tax rates, credits, and benefit calculations. The calculator is trusted by over 500 Canadian law firms and has been used by more than 300,000 Canadians. Reports generated by Divorcepath are accepted in Nunavut courts.
Do I need a lawyer to calculate child support?
You do not need a lawyer to calculate child support. Divorcepath provides the same professional-grade calculations used by family lawyers across Canada. However, for complex situations involving income disputes, undue hardship claims, or high-conflict cases, consulting a Nunavut family lawyer is recommended. Divorcepath provides legal information, not legal advice.
