When it comes to child support, it is usually governed by the Federal Child Support Guidelines. The payment of child support depends on a number of factors, including your parenting arrangement, whether primary care or shared parenting. In some cases, there may not be a need to pay child support for a child who is 18 years or older, and this is determined by several factors such as whether the child is in full-time school, whether the child is disabled, or if there are other factors preventing the child from becoming independent. If a child is in part-time school, they may not be entitled to support.

Although the federal child support guidelines provide a framework for calculating child support based on an individual’s earnings, the court may depart from the guideline income in certain cases where there are elements of hardship or the payor is obligated to support other children.

Navigating Custody and Support in Edson: Comprehensive Legal Guidance for Parents

Custody and Decision-Making for Children

There are several parenting arrangements, including primary, shared, split, and parallel, which the court considers in making an informed decision. The best interest of the child is usually the primary consideration in making any parenting decision.

The court also considers several factors in deciding the custody of a child or decision-making for a child, which can either be joint or sole decision-making rights. It’s important to note that a parent’s name not being on the birth certificate does not mean that they do not have any rights over the child.

About Edson AB

Edson is a town in west-central Alberta, Canada. It is located in Yellowhead County, 192 kilometres (119 mi) west of Edmonton along the Yellowhead Highway and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of the intersection with Highway 47.

History
The town was founded as Heatherwood, but the name was changed around 1911 in honour of Edson Joseph Chamberlin, vice-president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. When Edson was declared the local rail centre, smaller communities such as Rosevear (abandoned), Wolf Creek, Carrot Creek and Niton Junction fell into a decline that continues today. In the 1950s, upgrading of Highway 16 caused a dramatic increase in private, commercial and industrial traffic. Today, the Yellowhead Highway carries some of the heaviest traffic flow in Alberta and has been declared the second Trans-Canada Highway. In the 1970s, a revitalized coal industry launched the Cardinal River Coal and Luscar Sterco mines in the area. In the 1980s Pelican Spruce Mills (now Weyerhaeuser Company Limited) and Sundance Forest Industries (now Edson Forest Products a division of West Fraser Mills Ltd.) became two of Edson’s major employers. The former hamlets of Glenwood and Grande Prairie Trail were annexed from Yellowhead County by the Town of Edson on 1 January 1984.[8][9] In 2023, Edson was evacuated due to wildfires, a few weeks later, Edson declared another state of emergency due to floods.
