→If you separate can you get child support from your spouse?
The partner of a parent can be required to pay child support, but only if both are parents of the child or the couple are spouses. Someone who is not the spouse of a parent doesn’t qualify as a stepparent who may be responsible for child support.
The amount of child support payable is fixed by the Child Support Guidelines according to the payor’s income and the number of children support is being paid for. For information on child support, refer to script [[Unmarried Spouses: About the Children in Your Family(Script 147)|147]] on “Unmarried Spouses: About the Children in Your Family”.
