Child support ensures that children continue to be financially supported after separation. While many families rely on the standard assessment administered by Services Australia, some circumstances call for a more tailored approach.
At Alta Legal, we advise clients on child support assessments, private agreements and variations where the standard formula does not reflect a family's particular circumstances.
Some parents choose to enter private child support agreements to provide greater certainty about financial contributions, including education, medical or extracurricular expenses. In other situations, it may be appropriate to seek a variation to an existing assessment where income, care arrangements or the costs of caring for a child differ from what the formula assumes.
We assist clients in understanding their obligations and options, helping them approach child support arrangements in a way that supports both the child's needs and the family's financial stability.
