Child Support Recalculation Service

The Saskatchewan Child Support Recalculation Service is a pilot project that helps families with child support orders ensure a fair level of support for their children. The program will recalculate child support based on information reported on the most recent income tax returns and current income of a support payor. There is no cost to apply.

The goal of the program is to update child support amounts to reflect changes in income, without burdening families with the time and expense of pursuing those adjustments through court processes.

Anyone who pays or receives child support pursuant to a court order may apply to have their child support recalculated. Payments cannot be changed retroactively, and not everyone who applies will be eligible to have their support payments recalculated.

Please note that the program cannot recalculate your child support payments if any of the following apply:

• A child for whom support is being paid is over the age of 18;
• It has been less than 12 months since the order was granted or the last recalculation;
• A child resides with each parent at least 40% of the time (shared custody);
• The order states the income of the payor is over $150,000 (unless both parties agree to use the service);
• In the existing order, income was imputed to the payor;
• Payor has self-employment, farming or rental income;
• Payor stands in the place of a parent (in loco parentis);
• Payor is receiving no income (unless recipient agrees to recalculation);
• Only one party resides in SK (unless both parties agree to use the service);
• There is a pending variation application proceeding through the courts; or
• Section 7 expenses cannot be recalculated.

If the above criteria makes your order ineligible for recalculation, or if you want additional information about your options to have your support payments adjusted, you can contact the Family Law Information Centre.
