Nova Scotia Maintenance Enforcement Program

The Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice registers, collects, and enforces court orders or agreements registered with the court for child and spousal support. The payor (the person required to provide support) sends payments to MEP and MEP forwards them to the recipient (the person who receives the support). If the payments are not up-to-date, MEP can take a number of actions to enforce payment.
