| my partner has 2 kids to his ex which he pays c/s to and she remarried not long after they seperated and have no other kids, i had one child to my ex partner and 1 to this relationship, i receive c/s for my daughter and pay her private school fees sport fees and clothes etc and always send nice outfits and money with my daughter when she visits her father and or when he takes her out and i always offer to give him money for it but he declines seeing he pays c/s, but on otherhand my partners ex never sends clothes for the kids we have to buy and supply everything and we have them alt weeks in the school holidays and alt wk ends, since the c/s law changed this year we lost our entitlement for ftb which we were entitled to for the 2 kids and our large family supplement as in total we have 4 children, but also our c/s dropped but a minute amount but didnt cover the ftb that we lost....anyway since the laws changed and it took the mothers income into affect so she quit her job and made her new husband work 7 days a week, he has no kids. i think it is so unfair.. she cant supply clothes for them and they go without at home and wear clothes that are 3 x too small and or have the same clothes 3 days in a row because theres no clean clothes and shes a stay at mum,but yet she shaves her hair and can afford to buy multiple wigs cos she had a britney spears moment and replaced her whole makeup collection with chanel and buys lite and easy meals weekly while the kids eat cheese and macaroni or toasty sandwiches for tea.. i feel they should take the new partners income into account as centrelink does once its a defacto relationship why shouldnt c/s. |

i have been a single mother of 2 for the last 15years. i thought the same as you about the kids spending time with their father. my ex didn't want to see the kids at all. i did get some sort of childsupport here and there ($10-$100)but it started and stopped over the years. but about a year ago my son started saying he wanted to see is father. so i got in contact with him. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!! every thing was going good for about a year.then he moved back to our state, both the kids love hanging out with him on the weekends while i am at work. i even let him hang out in my house with my kids while i wasn't home(working). my 16yo started playing us off each other. he has turned on me. started bagging me out to my kids. telling them lies about my child hood. saying that he doesn't like the way i bring them up, but he is happy to show off the kids to people and say how good they have turned out... hmmm funny that. Now every time my daughter is upset with me, she rings her dad. he comes and gets her and she has not respect for me at all.
now the good part. she wants to go live with him. if she does and because i earn a lot more than him. (because i work more hours,work every weekend. for the past 15 years)
i will have to pay him child support. even though my son will stay with me. they wont even cancel each other out!! he will no longer have to pay me, my now $35 per week for 2 teenagers, i will have to pay him $200 per week for 1 child!!! how the hell does that work out.
and i never wanted child support off him. the government made me claim because when we split, i was pregnant with a 1 year old so i wasn't working. i am so angry. its a big joke. i am now being punished for being a hard worker and not relying on any hand out's from the government... unlike him.
so not only am i devistated about my daughter. my son will have to suffuer because i wont have enough money for the things he needs... :( |

"You forgot what I told you didnt you? tut tut."
No we still vividly remember how big a dimwit you like to prove yourself to be. Glad to see the mere sight of my ID still gets under your skin. Maybe I know a little about child support via clients I have dealt with? I guess you wouldn't know what clients are though, but the dole is choice eh bro? |

| Be careful with private arrangements, I have heard some horror stories of vindictive partners double dipping with a private arrangement and then using CSA. |

Phone and get on to the Child Support Agency . My understanding is previous outstanding amounts are still to be paid . Please speak to a person at CSA thay can help you and no I do not work for the CSA.
Also CSA doesn't have to be used if a person can make a private arrangement work. If it fails you can opt back in to use the Child Support Agency Collect monies. |

| I just want to know if anyone has an answer to this..My childs father and I have a court order for child support,he owes $8000 total to me and state for the last 5 years he refused to pay/work..Now he is working and we are thinking about moving in together..What will go on with the child support case if we are together? 2ND I have been single from day 1 of my childs life,I have worked the whole time and received minimal assistance. At tax time I get back $5000..compared to my married friends who receive maybe half that,IF that much..So its not that bad if you work part or full time. |

| I do agree with u, it should be run on a case by case basis. I am a single mum and i wish my kids could see their dad. I wouldnt care if he didnt support them, just getting things they needed here and there, being there for them, would be so good. But that will never happen, cause he killed himself 5 yrs ago and before he did, he was unable to pay cs, as his business wasnt doing too well. For 20 months after we split he paid about 4 weeks and i never took him to court for it, i told him to pay when he could. When i left him, i took only personal belongings, left him the car, the house and all the furniture etc. Sometimes just having a dad is more important then money and i am still on my own, working to support 2 kids. There are a lot of greedy people just out to get what they can and i do agree both parents should support their children, if a mother is struggling, why should the father live it up? But it has to work both ways, the mothers income should come into account too, if she has a lot of money and the dad doesnt, how is that fair? And if the dad is a decent person ( and we know some dads and also mums are not), then they should be allowed to see the kids, regardless of the amount of money paid. It should be whats right for the kids, what will benefit them, not the parents. Lots of laws should be changed, like some parents shouldnt even have their kids, some fathers and some mothers dont deserve them. So not only should we have a better review for cs, but also for residency of the kids and then maybe less children will die at the hands of their parents. Not all single mums are money hungry useless B** es, but some are. |

| Yes well the system rewards the bludgers, male or female. All us hard workers are being taken for a ride that's why the financial system is collapsing because it's too easy to be ripped off by the bureaucracy and the lazy one's who know how to operate within the law and get around it. It's collapsing 'cos us hard workers are ageing and opting out. We have become a nation of self righteous do gooders using the high moral ground of helping some bludger get some easy payment for some sort of problem that they are clever enough to feign. Meanwhile the real desperate needy also miss out. Also the old maxim of helping someone who has a proven track record of contributing to society has gone out the window ie. when you or I or our children fall on hard times see how much help you can get? NONE in my experience. |

I agree. I am also finishing off a degree and working hard to support 4 children. My ex chose not to share care of the kids. It is really hard to get a good job when you are restricted to before and after school care hours, and as for all the times when one of them is sick!!
The new child support formula meant a $5000/year or 40% drop for me. The extra money in his pocket is certainly not going to be spent on the children, so I wonder how the new formula justifies such a drop in living standard for them? |

| Thats harsh, You are putting ALL single mothers in the same category which is So wrong. I have been a single mother for nearly 10 years now. Ive raised 3 children on my own, but yet still manage to hold a permanent full time job, which i have had for 8 years and bought my home for myself and three children who are now teenagers.They have love, stability and support from me as their mother, but yet their father is the one who chose Not to be involved in his childrens upbringing.Ive never received government handouts and still DONT get ftb payments for my children as i earn too much. Between raising three children and working i have even done a three year university degree by external studies so i could be there for my children also. I encourage my children to call their father and see if he would like to spend time with them, but he is not interested. He was paying child support for a few years until i started earning more than him.Im not complaing about it. I am one single mother who is proud of what i have achieved on my own. I feel sorry for the fathers out there who are being ripped off and cant see their children, a big missing link in a childs life. But please DONT assume all single mothers are the same. If i can do this so can the rest of the single mothers out there.Here i am trying to get my children to know their father and i have never put him down or said bad things about him to my children because at the end of the day, they grow up and have minds of their own and judge. I just want their father to wake up and be there for our children and be apart of their lives. |

| If you know of someone that is cheating the system, get some information together and report it to the ATO. The ATO will take it more seriously than almost any other government agency on all levels. |

| I am passing through the same situation. The ex is has a job and gets pay cash so it is dif. to demonstrate her income. She just wants more money out of my BF. He has a second job just to save money so we can move out together but it is not fair that he has to give more money to her. Many woman take advantage of that, as a matter of fact she has two cars and lives for free. She parties the money that my bf gives her. |
