Did You Know? » Family Responsibility Office

.

All Orders for child and/or spousal support – at least initially – must be enforced by the Family Responsibility Office, commonly referred to as “FRO”.

If an order is made for child or spousal support, information about the support recipient and support payor must be provided to FRO.

Parties may withdraw from FRO enforcement provided that both the payor and the recipient execute and file a Notice of Withdrawal with respect to FRO enforcement.

Written Agreements in relation to child and/or spousal support may also be enforced by FRO if a copy of the Agreement is filed with the Court. Once an Agreement regarding support has been filed with FRO, parties may also file a Notice of Withdrawal to stop FRO from enforcing support and an order or Agreement may be re-filed with FRO even after the recipient and payor withdraw from FRO enforcement.
