The Act to Facilitate the Payment of Support has been a godsend to women and children throughout Quebec: Since 1997, the Minister of Revenue of Quebec collects child and spousal support, without charge to the recipient. This saves a fortune in legal fees for the women and children who can least afford to hire a lawyer to collect the support they need in the first place!
Of course, this law does not detract from your right to collect support yourself, in the event the government is failing to act, or is not acting fast enough. When the debtor is about to skip the country, or is hiding assets, the rapid issuance of seizures should be undertaken by your lawyer, without delay.
Also, the government no longer has the right to make a "deal" with your debtor, without your prior approval!
