There is a bunch of other pieces of legislation that deal with family law problems, including the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84g5 Adoption Act]'' (which talks about adoption), the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8481 Name Act]'' (which talks about changing your name and your children's names), the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8456 Land Title Act]'' (which has to do with land and houses), and the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84fk Vital Statistics Act]'' (which has to do with registering births, deaths, marriages, and divorces). The most important of these other laws are the [[Child Support Guidelines]].
The [[Child Support Guidelines]] set out the rules about how much child support should be paid, according to both the income of the person paying child support and the number of children child support is being paid for. For most people, the amount that should be paid is set out in a table at the end of the Guidelines. The Guidelines also set out the rules about when child support can be paid in an amount different than what the tables say should be paid.
