ON CHANGING MY SUPPORT ORDER HAVE I CONTACTED EVERYONE WHO SHOULD KNOW?

1. Q. Who should I notify when I want to change (vary) my support order? A. Notify the other party to the support order, usually the other parent of your child/children. Notify any other agency that has a legal interest such as the Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS), or the municipal or First Nation social services department.

2. Q. Why would the government have a legal interest? A. If the parent entitled to support has ever been in receipt of social assistance, they may have “assigned” their support interest to the government body that provides social assistance, (either MCSS, a First Nation or one of the various municipalities). This means that the government assignee has a legal interest in the support order.

3. Q. Why do I have to tell anyone I am changing my support order? A. The person or agency to whom an order is assigned has the right to participate in any court proceedings that will affect their interest in that order. This includes MCSS, a municipality or a First Nation. The assignee may still have a legal interest in this case although the order is no longer assigned.

4. Q. How do I find out if my order is assigned and where to send the application to change the support order? A. You can fill out the Confirmation of Assignment form (on the other side of this page) and fax or mail it to the Ministry of Community and Social Services (see Q6 below). The bottom of the form will be filled out and sent back to you showing whether or not your support order is assigned. If your order is assigned, you will also be told where to send a copy of your application to change (vary) the order.

5. Q. What if I am seeking interim relief against enforcement? A. If your Motion to Change the support order includes a request for interim relief against enforcement, you must also serve the Family Responsibility Office (FRO). The address for service of documents to the FRO is "Legal Services, Family Responsibility Office, P.O. Box 220, Downsview ON M3M 3A3" (by mail), 1201 Wilson Avenue, Bldg B, 5th floor, Downsview ON M3M 1J8 (via courier) or Legal Services Fax Number at 416 240-2402. The FRO deals only with the enforcement of support orders and does not make decisions regarding the amount of support owing. Similarly, the Assignee (MCSS, municipality or First Nation) makes no decisions regarding interim enforcement. The FRO and the Assignee (MCSS, municipality or First Nation) are two different government offices that have different roles and responsibilities with respect to support orders.

6. Q. Where do I send this form?

A. You can mail it to: Or, you can fax it to: Ministry of Community and Social Services Confirmation of Assignment Unit 1 800 772-6836 Box 1997 Toronto ON M7A 1E9

7. Q. When will I get the form back with the information I need? A. It depends on whether you ask for it to be mailed back or if you provided a fax number. The form will be processed within three (3) working days, then mailed or faxed to you.

8. Q. When I get the form back, will it tell me how much money I owe? A. No. The assignee will provide information on how much is owed after you send a copy of your Motion to Change and all attached materials to the assignee’s office specified on the bottom of the Confirmation of Assignment form.
