What child support options do I have?

Understanding your child support options in Australia is crucial for ensuring your children’s well-being. Arcuri Turnbull Law can guide you through the following child support options:

Private Child Support Agreements

Limited Child Support Agreements allow parents to make private arrangements for child support payments provided the terms are accepted by the Child Support Agency. 

These agreements don’t require legal advice before being made but must be in writing and signed by both parties. 

These agreements offer flexibility but less certainty than Binding Child Support Agreements. If you are unsure about the right path to making an Agreement or if you disagree with Services Australia’s decision, we are here to assist. 

If you believe a limited child support agreement is the right option for you, you can download the form from Services Australia.

Binding Child Support Agreements provide a more definitive arrangement for child support. 

They require both parents to receive independent legal advice and are legally binding, offering a high degree of certainty and stability. 

These agreements can be made for any amount the parents agree on and are not limited in duration. 

They can only be terminated or changed by a subsequent Binding Agreement or a court order under exceptional circumstances, making them more rigid but offering a long-term solution for child support arrangements.

If you’d like to learn more about how we can help, call us on 07 5562 0499 or via our online contact form to book a free initial consultation today. 

Court Ordered Child Support

Court involvement is often sought when parents cannot agree on Services Australia’s decision or when special circumstances are not adequately addressed through standard agreements. 

This could include cases with complex financial situations, international considerations, or other unique challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Child support is meant to cover the basic living costs of raising a child, so they can enjoy a similar standard of living to when their parents lived together. It generally includes everyday living costs, education, medical and dental costs, transport and recreational activities. We break each one down in What does child support cover in QLD?

Parents who agree can make a private agreement, either a Binding or a Limited Child Support Agreement. If you can’t agree, the Child Support Agency assesses it based on factors like each parent’s income and the number of days each parent cares for the child. Read more in A Comprehensive Guide to Child Support and How it Works in QLD.
