Child support can be confusing, and I often get questions from clients about what’s covered and what’s not. Here are 3 of the most common questions: 1️⃣ Work-Related Child Care: What counts? Typically, necessary childcare expenses while you work do count. 2️⃣ What Does Child Support Cover? Child support is designed to cover the basics—food, shelter, clothing—but it may not cover everything, like extracurricular activities. 3️⃣ Extracurricular Activities: Courts can go either way on whether these are included in child support. Often, parents decide to split these costs in a way that works best for their family. Child support is about ensuring your child’s needs are met. If you have questions about what’s included in your situation, reach out—I'm here to help! https://bit.ly/3OnRium #DivorceTips #ChildSupport #ChildSupportFAQ #Custody #CoParenting

Support staff in residential childcare homes play a pivotal role in empowering children at risk of #ganginvolvement. ✋🏻 ✋🏻 By creating a safe and structured environment with open communication can provide essential support to children exposed to gang culture due to unstable home lives or communities affected by crime. Through comprehensive care that includes picking up on the signals/needs, counselling, education, and recreational activities, support staff help to counteract the allure of gang life by addressing underlying issues such as trauma, lack of support, and a need for belonging. ‼️ GET TO KNOW YOUR CHILDREN ‼️ Some kids can be tough to connect with, but regularly checking in and showing you care can start building trust. Remember their favourite meal or activity, share a joke, or do something silly—small gestures may seem minor, but they make a big difference! Let’s guide children toward healthier paths, ultimately breaking the cycle of gang involvement and creating a brighter future for these vulnerable youths. #EmpowerSupportStaff #ResidentialChildcare #YouthSupport #BreakTheCycle #GangPrevention #ChildrensSafety #PositiveChange #BuildingResilience #SafeHaven #BrightFutures
