How Child Support Works in Australia

Child support ensures that both parents contribute financially to their child’s upbringing after separation or divorce. These payments can be managed in several ways:

Private Agreements – Parents can mutually decide on child support arrangements.

Child Support Assessment (CSA) – The Department of Human Services (DHS) calculates payments based on income, custody arrangements, and other factors.

Binding Child Support Agreements – Legally enforceable agreements that provide financial stability.

Court Orders – If disputes arise, the Family Court can enforce appropriate financial contributions.
