Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
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.
The Northwest Territories cannot distinguish
between ‘children only’ cases and ‘spouse and children’
cases. Both types of cases are included in the ‘children only’
categories.
Note(s):
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.
