Saskatchewan Child Support Guide

Use the current official lookup

Justice Canada’s 2025 child-support lookup provides a base table amount for the period beginning October 1, 2025. Select the relevant province of residence, income and number of children. Saskatchewan is not automatically the correct table because the other parent lives here.

The lookup is educational information, not a determination of your final obligation. Earlier periods may use earlier tables. Open the current official child-support lookup.

Income needs careful attention

A number entered into a lookup does not establish income for support purposes. Self-employment, changing earnings and other financial circumstances can require further records and legal analysis. Gather current tax and income information before relying on a proposed amount.

Tell Hailee what changed and which records you have. Do not assume that a percentage change automatically creates a particular entitlement or permits changing an existing obligation.

Shared parenting is not an automatic subtraction

Section 9 applies where each parent exercises at least 40% of parenting time over the course of a year. It considers the table amounts, increased costs of shared parenting and the conditions, means, needs and other circumstances of each parent and child.

Subtracting two table amounts does not, by itself, determine the amount payable. Read the shared-parenting provision. Bring the actual schedule and information about the children’s needs and household costs.

Assess special or extraordinary expenses

Section 7 considers necessity in relation to the child’s best interests and reasonableness in relation to the parents’ and child’s means and prior spending pattern. Not every extra expense automatically qualifies.

Sharing generally reflects incomes after accounting for the child’s contribution. Subsidies, benefits and relevant tax treatment also matter. Keep receipts and details of the expense rather than assuming every cost is split equally. Read section 7.

Bring the whole arrangement for review

An agreement may need clear terms for payment dates, income disclosure, expense approvals and review or changes. Existing orders, agreements and applicable law need attention before a payment is changed.

Hailee can advise on support terms as part of separation agreements or parenting arrangements within her licensed scope. Court litigation, urgent orders and work outside that scope require referral to a lawyer.
