FAQs
What is child support?
By law both parents are required to support their child financially. In some cases this may involve one parent paying a child support payment to the other, to help with the costs of raising a child.
How is child support calculated?
Child support laws in Australia allow for children with separated parents to be covered by the Child Support scheme, administered by the Child Support Agency. The scheme uses a formula, based on the income of both parents, the costs of raising children, the number of children in the family, and the amount of time each parents spends with their children whom they are required to financially support. The Agency has a website to assist parents in understand how the formula works.
When can I apply for a divorce?
Either party to a marriage (or both together) can apply for a Divorce once they have been separated from their spouse for a period of not less than 12 months. The basis of seeking a Divorce is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. However, you can still apply for a property settlement or formalise arrangements for children immediately after you have separated.
Do all family law matters need to go to court?
The short answer is no. Most family law matters are resolved by negotiation. Anecdotal evidence suggests that of those cases that proceed to court 95% settle without the need for a final hearing.
