CHILD SUPPORT

Even though parents are separated they each have a financial responsibility for their child/ren.

Child support is generally paid by one parent to the other but sometimes both parents have a child support liability.

Child support can be paid by:

• agreement
• a child support assessment

Any general queries about child support should be directed to the Child Support Agency (CSA). Information about the CSA can be found at their website: www.csa.gov.au
