consideration and attention. The breakdown of a family unit is a very difficult time for a child, or
children, and there are numerous factors that need to be taken into account to ensure that
decisions are made in the child’s best interests. When parents separate, proper arrangements
need to be made for the ongoing financial, physical and emotional support of their children.

support payments for children in separated families is commonly agreed upon by each parent,
or otherwise assessed and monitored by the Child Support Agency rather than the Courts.

and requires the signature of both parents. The agreement can only be entered into
with legal advice and must include a statement that each party has received
independent legal advice as to the effect and advantages and/or disadvantages of the
agreement, before it was signed
● Limited child support agreement: this agreement does not require legal advice and
must be an administrative assessment in place at the time that the agreement is
entered into.
