Child Support And Spousal Support Basics
Both parents have a legal duty to support their children financially, even after divorce. Child support is the amount of money paid by one parent (the Payor) to the other (the Recipient) for the care and upbringing of dependent children. The amount of money one person pays the other for the support of children in the care of that other person is called child support and is now determined by the Child Support Guidelines.
The guiding principle of Canada's child support law is that children should continue to benefit from the financial means of both parents just as they would if the parents were still together. Therefore, if you are divorced or separated from the other parent, you are still both responsible for supporting your children financially. Your children are entitled to chills support by law if they are under the age of majority and still dependent on their parents. If your children are over 18 or 19, they may be entitled to support if they cannot become independent because of an illness, disability or "other cause". Courts often order parents to pay child support for an older child going to university or college.
Determining the Amount of Child Support Payable
The amount of child support that is payable is based on Federal, or Provincial Child Support Guidelines. Factors that are taken into consideration include the number of children, the annual income of the payor, and the custody arrangement. Additional factors affecting the amount of child support payable, include whether:
· There are shared or split parenting arrangements
· The payor earns more than $150, 000.00
· The payor is experiencing financial hardship
SPOUSAL SUPPORT BASICS
The law on spousal support is constantly evolving. Generally, if one spouse earns more money than the other spouse, he/she may have to pay spousal support.
How Spousal Support is Determined:
Canadian courts have the authority, upon granting a divorce, to decide the issue of spousal support. The courts keep four objectives at the forefront when deciding spousal support issues. These are:
1. To recognize the economic advantages or disadvantages arising from the marriage or the divorce.
2. Once child support obligations have been established, to divide, between the spouses, any financial consequences arising from the care of any child.
3. To relieve any economic hardship a spouse might suffer as a result of the marriage breakdown and promote the economic self-sufficiency of each spouse.
4. To promote the economic self-sufficiency of each spouse within a reasonable period of time.

Enticing Chocolate Fudge, Fillings, and more:
Icing can be formed into shapes such as flowers and leaves using a pastry bag. A pastry bag is an often cone- or triangular-shaped, hand-held bag made from cloth, paper, or plastic that is used to pipe semi-solid foods by pressing them through a narrow opening at one end. Aside from icings and frostings, pastry bags are commonly used to shape meringue and whipped cream, and to fill doughnuts with jelly or vanilla custard. Using icing to decorate cakes is commonly used with wedding cakes, anniversary cakes and birthday cakes.
Chocolate Coated Almonds
Select nuts that are plump at the ends. Use them without blanching. Brush, to remove dust. Melt "Dot" Chocolate and when cooled properly drop the nuts, one at a time, into the center of it; push the nuts under with the fork, then drop onto waxed paper or oil cloth. In removing the fork make a design on the top of each nut. These are easily prepared and are particularly good.
