child support

We are here to assist you in negotiating and drafting Binding Child Support Agreements.

When you and your partner separate, depending on the care arrangements for the children, you may be entitled to receive Child Support from the children’s other parent, or you may be liable to pay Child Support.

The Services Australia website is a great place to start for advice and information about your rights and entitlements in regards to Child Support payments.

If you need assistance in making arrangements to enter into a Child Support Agreement with your former spouse, which gives you greater control in determining what suits both your needs, your children’s needs and your former spouse’s needs, we can assist you in negotiating and drafting Binding Child Support Agreements.

If you require assistance or advice relating to your Child Support rights, please feel free to contact us. We strongly encourage parents wishing to enter into a Child Support Agreement to seek advice early if you receive a proposed Child Support Agreement or wish to prepare one. 

Our Lawyers can also provide advice in relation to Child Support assessments and collection arrangements.
