2) Support for a child means any support payment that is not identified in the order or agreement as being only for the recipient’s maintenance. If an order or agreement provides for a global amount of support to be paid for a spouse or common-law partner and a child, the full amount is considered support for a child.% T0 w; r0 s1 [9 [6 {

In all cases, the payer and the recipient must live apart because of a breakdown in the relationship when the payments are made. For an amount to be considered a support payment, it must meet certain conditions. |
