Welcome To The Northwest Territories Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) |
The Northwest Territories Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) helps children and
families by monitoring, enforcing and collecting support payments.
Residents of the NWT can register with the program if they have a court order or
agreement for support by completing a registration package and returning it to the
MEP Office. There is no cost for registration or for MEP's collection services.
The Maintenance Enforcement Program does not obtain court orders for clients, change
the amount of support ordered by a court, or vary a court order. MEP does not provide
legal advice or legal representation to clients or deal with custody or access issues.
The Program has reciprocal enforcement agreements with all Canadian provinces and
territories, all American states, and some foreign countries. Under these agreements,
maintenance enforcement agencies in other jurisdictions can collect on behalf of
the NWT Maintenance Enforcement Program for creditors who live within the NWT. This
agreement also allows the NWT Maintenance Enforcement Program to collect funds from
debtors who live within the NWT on behalf of other jurisdictions. |
