A: If he was laid off he will be entitled to Employment insurance which income (together with any severance payment he receives) will form the basis of his child support obligation going forward. You can register your order or agreement with the FMEP in order to gain assistance in collecting any unpaid support. The onus is on the payor to go to court to vary the current order or agreement and at that time you will want to ensure that a term of any variation order made requires him to keep track of all efforts he makes to obtain employment and to report any income received from any source within 14 days of his receipt of same so that you can apply to increase his support once he has regained a higher income.
