How does child support work in a blended family. I’m assuming the court will see her as the stand in parent, as we lived together and parented 3 kids for 10 years. But after separation I have the two from my first marriage full time and I have my other daughter half time so 50/50. Do I calculate what I’d paid her and what she pay me? Because that’s what I’m hearing. Any advice be great

Please see more information about Section 5 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines with respect to standing place of a parent here: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/fl-lf/child-enfant/rp/v2/v2_3.html You may benefit from a consultation with a lawyer to confirm specifics. Because lawyers need sufficient information to be able to provide an opinion, and to be able to ask you questions (which usually means at least a half-hour consultation), the lawyers here can only provide basic information and answer very general questions. Please contact a lawyer directly through the Search to seek assistance with your matter. Thank you for your understanding.
