Is it possible that the federal Guidelines might be used in my province by provincial courts?

Yes, it is possible. However, these changes may not have happened yet in your province. For example, in Alberta, the government has decided to wait to see what the provincial court judges do about using the guidelines. Thus, it has not yet changed Alberta's laws dealing with child support.

For more information, see the Department of Justice Canada website.
