Description
This thesis is an exploration of the child support obligations of step-parents in Canada. Step-parents are becoming more common in today's family law as more marriages break down and new relationships form. In many jurisdictions, there is no or very little legal recognition of step-parents. In Canada, however, there is broader legal recognition of de facto parent-child relationships, with the result that, step-parents may in many circumstances be liable for child support when their relationship with the children's biological parent breaks down. Canada currently has thresholds to determine parental status and how much support is required if the step-parent is held to stand in the place of a parent. This thesis will explore why many step-parents find these obligations unfair as discretion and uncertainty surrounds this area of law. Is reform needed in the Canadian model before other jurisdictions can add elements of the Canadian model into their own?
