The Family Law Act
<blockquote><blockquote><tt>(b) in accordance with the order.</tt></blockquote></blockquote>
The hammer shows up in section 213, which prescribes the penalties a court may impose when someone fails to comply with either an order made under section 212 or a disclosure obligation in the [http://canlii.ca/t/85pb Provincial Court Family Rules ] and the [http://canlii.ca/t/8mcr Supreme Court Family Rules], including by providing documents and information that are "incomplete, false or misleading:"
<blockquote><tt>(1) This section applies if a person</tt></blockquote>
<blockquote><blockquote><tt>(e) make any other order the court considers appropriate.</tt></blockquote></blockquote>
Finally, the [[Child Support Guidelines]] are adopted for the purposes of the ''Family Law Act'' by section 8 of the [http://canlii.ca/t/8rdx Family Law Act Regulation]. That includes the financial information that must be produced under section 21 of the Guidelines, discussed above, as well as the penalties for not providing this information under sections 22, 23 and 24. It's safe to assume that all of the Guidelines apply to court proceedings under the ''Family Law Act'' just as they do to court proceedings under the ''Divorce Act''.
