The Separation Guide | A starting point for better separation and divorce

Episode 17: What you need to know about child support


Listen Later

Child support is a way for both parents to make sure that their kids are properly supported financially. There are a lot of decisions that need to be made around how your child support arrangement is set up, managed and collected. There are also a lot of implications to these decisions which might not become clear until you are a fair way down the child support road.

In this episode, we speak to Crystal Paduch from Child Support Consultants about many aspects of child support in Australia to give you some insight into how it all works.

We cover:

  • how child support is assessed
  • the ways to manage child support
  • private collection versus Child Support collect
  • how Centrelink, Child Support and the ATO are connected
  • the types of income included in an assessment plus income exclusions
  • how days of care affect an assessment
  • what happens if there is an overpayment or underpayment
  • the services offered by CSC.
  • If you'd like to learn more about CSC and book a consultation with Crystal, you can find the link to her calendar here.
