1.
The Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs does not collect historical data on cases before the commencement of Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs data collection. Cases existing when Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs collection started are classified as unknown, if there is no record of payment being received for these cases in the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs.
2.
Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories report detailed microdata through the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs. The other jurisdictions in the table report aggregate data through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey.
3.
Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Yukon maintain a policy of allowing direct payments to be made and received by their clientele throughout the case duration, and since most of these direct payments are not reported until after the survey data are collected, some payors are reported as not having paid, even though they actually have. In Nova Scotia and Yukon, about 1% of cases each month report a payment, or payments, being made in a previous month.
Note(s):
Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. Interjurisdictional support order-out cases are excluded. As a result of the random rounding methodology, some small differences can be expected in the corresponding values between tables.
