Financial arrangements for your children
What is a Child Support Agreement?
A Child Support Agreement is a formal arrangement between parents about the financial support of their children after separation. It outlines how much child support will be paid, how often, and how it will be managed, providing clarity and certainty for both parents.
There are two main types of agreements in Australia:
Limited Child Support Agreement - Requires a Child Support Assessment and can be ended by either party after 3 years.
Binding Child Support Agreement - Requires both parties to receive independent legal advice and is legally enforceable.
We can support you in understanding your options and creating an agreement that works for your family and meets legal requirements. Through our process your agreement will be reviewed by experienced child support lawyers to ensure your agreement is comprehensive and compliant.
