You have entered into a voluntary process, namely the negotiation of a Separation Agreement. You cannot require a father to pay child support as part of this voluntary process, unless of course he agrees. If you need assistance given the fact that he will not pay child support to you then your only alternative, unless once again he agrees, is to commence a Court Application. We could then obtain a Court Order in your favor requiring him to pay child support. If you wish to discuss these issues you are welcome to telephone me at 877-668-9386 for a free consultation.
