Note: "Families" includes all families with children aged 19 years and under enrolled in a Non-ISO or ISO-out case and living in the jurisdiction. For each jurisdiction, the monthly support payments for some families are enforced by another Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP). The results should not be used to evaluate the performance of each MEP. In Nova Scotia, arrears owing does not include default on fees.
ISO = Interjurisdictional Support Orders.
