Sec 216 form, Line 21999, 22000- can I claim child support as "support payments made"?
The child in question left Canada and now resides with the other parent in Europe. I paid child support to the other parent. Got receipts. And there isa court order.

Please delete- i see that the court order must be made before 1997.
