If you have read the section in this chapter on [[Making Changes to Child Support]], know that an application to ''cancel'' or ''reduce'' arrears is much the same kind of application as one to ''vary'' a child support order where the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' is involved. It's made pursuant to section 17. | |||
The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' does not deal expressly with arrears | The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' does not deal expressly with arrears. Applications to reduce arrears under this act are simply ''variation'' applications. The test the court will apply is similar to the test it applies for orders under the ''[[Family Law Act]]''. It is difficult to persuade the court to cancel arrears, as you will see in the next section. | ||
