Child support is mandatory pursuant to the Child Support Guidelines. As such, the father is required to pay child support. If he has not filed his income tax returns then the Court has the power to impute income to him, meaning that the Court can decide that he is earning a certain amount of money based on the evidence provided by you, notwithstanding the fact that he has not filed his tax returns.
Your sister now lives in Toronto. As such, the Court Application can be commenced in Ontario, notwithstanding that the father lives in Alberta. This is because the habitual residence of the child determines where the proper jurisdiction shall be. What this means is that as your sister and the child now reside in Ontario she can obtain a Court Order against the father in Ontario. The Court Order can then be registered with the Family Responsibility Office in Ontario. They will then contact their companion body in Alberta so that the Court Order is enforced for your sister for free in Alberta. If the father does not pay the ordered child support then enforcement steps can be taken against him; examples being the suspension of his driver’s license, the cancellation of his passport, and in extreme cases jail. As such, your sister should be commencing a Court Application in Ontario. If she wishes to have a free consultation with me she is welcome to telephone me at 1-877-668-9386.
