Description	The role of the Family Responsibility Office is to ensure that support payments flow properly from payors (people who make support payments) to recipients (people who receive them).    The Family Responsibility Office receives every support order made by a court in Ontario and enforces the amounts owed under the order. The office also enforces domestic contracts and paternity agreements accompanied by an affidavit in support of filing from the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice (Family Court) or their predecessor courts.    The Family Responsibility Office has the legal authority to collect support payments and arrears and to take enforcement actions against those who do not meet their responsibilities.
