Who wants to be dictated to by the State on how you support your children — what, how and when?

Whilst many views float around arguing for and against child support, most decent fathers and parents would argue the issue is not whether or not they wish to support their children, but rather the often unfair conditions imposed upon them.

Simply, it's an attack on the nature of a father's freedom and how he best wishes to raise and support his children in the many different ways a responsible father can, which are often more effective and benefical to a child than any 'slap-bang' instrument of government and statism can ever be.

For a father going through separation/divorce, experiencing the loss of family and children, horrendous false allegations, litigation, uncertainty of where your children are and how they are doing, often causes ill health, work and life instability in so many ways. Also, the effects from not having a fully functioning and emotionally present Dad in a child's life can be equally, if not more devestating as their development can be hindered considerably.

Then if that isn't bad enough, along comes an assessment from the Child Support Agency (CSA) for an outlandish sum of money based on your capacity to work at the highest rate when you were fit and able and on fire, which is possibly a stark contrast to where your financial position is today, or will be in the future if you are unable to recover from the upheaval of a traumatic separation that's often compared to a fate worse than death.

From 2006 CSA powers in Australia have increased to not only garnish your wages, but directly withdraw from bank accounts any amount they deem appropriate, siezing assets of any sort to pay the often highly questionable and unjust debts. As Fathers are assaulted with such draconian measures, one can only feel a sense of dictatorship giving rise to a totalitarian society — not a free Australia — causing fathers to unite and fight for their rights and freedom.

As there are many issues surrounding child support and the effects upon fathers, children and families,

Share your opinion and experiences about the pros and cons of child support,
lifting the veil on a most horrid part of family breakup!

Has anyone come up against the ex dictating child goes to uni after 18 and having them apply for adult support.? Has anyone been through this can u appeal do you know how it works? I have nothing other than a decent car pay $1600 a month in csa payments due to them using their own estimate and I have another child to support . Is there a way I can have this provisional income changed and back dated? As I only earn half of wat they are presuming and in the last 2 yrs have also been unemployed for 7 months. Thankfully it was broken up 3 months one period 4 the next am now working but still playing catch up on bills. Any advice would be appreciated.

No one should ever enter agreement with these agencies, however if you are in one, ask for verification of any claim or purported debt by way of a sworn affidavit. Doubt you will ever see one.

Does anyone have an address for the CSA offices? I want to visit these thieves in person. They owe me money, claim I owe them, threaten me, take two months to reply to my letters and now go and contact my employer AFTER SENDING a letter that they wouldn't. Have enough of this crap, letter are words without any weight when the people who write and read them hide in a building. Would be grateful for an address so I can discuss my matter in person.

Boys, finally a victory for the good guys! Just had my Change of Assessment decision and they have come out on my side! Ex-wife had been declaring $0 income for years but we were on a private arrangement so it didn't matter. The assessed CSA amount was a ridiculous $1300 a month which I simply couldn't afford. I paid her $400 which was our agreed amount. Never missed a payment but she used to threaten me all the time with going to CSA and having them collect the full amount so that she could get her own way. Well, she got the shits one day after we argued and she actually did go to them and ask for collection. I knew she earned much more than me and hid it all being self-employed, so I sent in a Change of Assessment application to try to get a fair assessment amount which I could afford. I've never shirked my responsibility as the kids' father; in fact they lived with me for 10 years after we split up and she paid me bugger all in that whole time. Anyway, I got a brilliant case officer thank god, called Natalie Gale, bless her, and she took my 80-page pile of evidence I'd collected and dug even deeper. Natalie turned up all the hidden money and assessed her for $300,000 a year!! Until the kids turn 18!! I now get money back that they had started to garnish from my wages and don't have to pay her a cent! While it was all going on I offered to go back to a private arrangement since they were digging deep into her affairs, but I didn't even get a response. That made my victory all the sweeter! Her greed and arrogance came back to bite her on the arse big time. I know she'll use all this to try to turn the kids against me, but I will be honest with them, and I have proof of everything.
My take on all this? Do a shit-load of evidence-gathering yourself before you send in a C of A application - they are more likely to make an effort if you spoon-feed them info and the places to search, saving them time and effort. Always be polite, never get angry or vindictive on the phone to them. Write down everything you discuss in every call. Always get a name and a receipt number. There is hope, and it doesn't always go the female's way!

Child support is the best way to increase the uneducated, uncivilized population of a country by paying money from men to Breeding age women to discourage keeping a marriage and raising unhealthy, uneducated, undisciplined adults.

Perfect formula for ECONOMIC PROGRESS.

Hi guys does any one know if you have to support your child after 18 if studying my husbands ex refuses to Le his son have a p time job I believe because her other 2 kids dropped out of school and she plans on screwing my husband for more money . She is vindictive and managed to turn his son away from him so he now pays 100 percent . She also left work to study as soon as she knew my husband had increased earnings to increase her CSA payments we have a 5 yr old and i work and have always just to make ends meet. I gave up tim with my baby becaus of CSA payments we pay $1600 pm for 1 child whilst they conceed 5k for our daughter who he has f time. If I didn't work we'd have nothing

TO SALLY...You should try "Capacity to pay" claim find it in child supports hidden secrets pages under

http://operational.humanservices.gov.au/public/Pages/SiteMap/siteMap.html

this will have a black column down the left hand side, scroll down to "separated parents" and click.
This should have you elevated past the CS defense screen.
nobody you talk to by phoning CS will tell you about it unless you force it on them. Good luck
Then scroll down to 277-03130000
This is "capacity to pay"
this should give you a start

My husband has 2 kids with his ex. We have 2 children together, aged 6 and 1. Each time we informed CSA of the arrival of bub, his ex's taxable income coincidentally decreased by a significant amount. Last year when our 2nd son was born, her taxable income dropped to just under $8000.
She has 100% care of the other 2, due to her ringing CSA and telling them the kids weren't going to come and stay with us any more. She did everything she could to discourage them and told some really nasty lies about their father.
How can her income drop from $50000 to $8000 in one year while she is still supporting children? My husband is paying her close to $500 per fortnight, while also supporting our 2 children and myself while I am on leave from work.
I believe that fathers should definitely help support their children, but the system seems to be rigged in favour of the mother. She took the kids away from him, stopped him seeing them and is now getting a quarter of his income every week in Child support while we struggle with bills and groceries.

I am currently paying about a quarter of my wage to my ex and once you add up shopping, utilities, insurances, mortgage etc it leaves me and my new partner extremely broke. We have children together who live with us. I have one to my ex who I don't get to see.
My question is, is there a financial hardship assessment that i can send in? Has anyone done this in the past?

Hi guys

Top answer Paul.
Tom just keep paying + a bit more mate, cause if you dont you won't see your kid for some time.
Suggest to those just starting their csa sentence.
Buy yourself a caravan ,something that will last at least 15 years.
You need to diversify your work.
Ask your parents or friends if you can park it at their place sometimes.
Follow the seasons and go fruit picking for a few months, while you live rent free in your caravan.
Work for cash as much as possible.
Don't think about grand things like buying a house,cause that will be impossible even for those who don't pay cs.
At least you'll be travelling along the country with your mind off all the shit and might even find a little town which you might settle in. Life will still go on... do some study to improve your qualifications . And by the time you know it this will all be behind you.
Or you can spend the next 18 years doing what wise man Paul said below.

First of all I'd like to say FUCK OFF BLAIR

Now, let's get to the important stuff:
I'm a father of two (diff. Mothers). I pay Loads to CSA for my eldest. My youngest I've been denied contact with since before she was born. I never held her when a newborn, I never walked her in her pram, I never settled her to sleep and put her in her cot. I experienced nothing but heartache for the last 4 years. I decided now it would benefit everyone if I just give up.
Any other fathers feel like this or am I alone?
3
By: Paul from Q, Australia on March 9, 2017 @ 10:18 pm
Tom, just to add to what Oscar has said. The amount calculated by CSA assumes that even if you have shared care, she pays all the bills. Ludicrous I know but this is something that they won't tell you unless you get to the Tribunal or Federal Court. In essence, you should not be paying a cent more than your child support. If you have, lodge a 'non agency payment for everything that you have paid over and above your child support. If you have documents to support what you have paid they cannot refuse....although they will. You then have to lodge an objection. If that fails...it will, you go to the Tribunal and fight it out. If that doesn't work, Federal Court next. Ever wonder why people give up and put a bullet in thier own heads?

By: Oscar from SA, Australia on March 9, 2017 @ 12:52 am
Tom

you are only obliged to pay what the CSA assesses you to pay, or any other amount by a Court order. If you want to pay more you can, but it will not count for anything except good will.

so my advice - pay to her only what the CSA says to pay. If you feel you want to do more for your kids, then do it - but do NOT listen to your ex when she tells you that you HAVE to pay more.

Hi all
what is a fair deal when it comes to paying flight costs interstate when I am already paying max CSA and will increase more once the court allows ex to relocated to Victoria from WA and then I wont have my kids as often therefore my CSA payments will increase. My ex had an tax income of less than 3thousand due to self-employed but remarried and obviously not declaring her true income where mine salary is high in mining.
thanking you

Hey Don, hoping you are still out there somewhere. I have done a shitload of work on my case and would love the opportunity of going through it with you in preparation for the Tribunal. I am happy to pay you for your time. Presently, I am being ignored by my supposed case manager ever since requesting copies of CUBA notes, recordings, dates, an account of funds I have paid ETC. I patiently waited 30 days and no information arrived after being promised to me. Follow up phones calls have proven fruitless. I really want to move forward with this and I believe that your unique insight may well assist me in achieving this objective.

I'm sharing this letter I just wrote to Child Support Help Australia.
I'm sharing it with this forum for some advice we are bumming out big time


Hi my name is Robert Lucas. I have applied a couple of times to speak with you about my current situation.

I urgently need your help urgent please. I have just read an email that says I am not allowed to leave Australia. My wife and family have organised a 2 week trip to Bali to celebrate the coming of my 50th birthday. We are suppose to fly to Bali this Wednesday 08th March and return to Australia on 22 March. I have not worked for the last 18 months due to a back injury and I'll health. My wife is the bread winner in our family. Everything is paid for and we cannot afford to cancel anything as we will lose all of the money. This is a surprise birthday present and renewing of our wedding vows with our 4 children. I was only told about it on the weekend.
I am in tears right now as I write this letter. My children are excited as are myself and my wife as this is such a milestone in our lives. If I had money to pay I would but I don't. My wife and children don't deserve this. I don't know what to do I'm devistated to say the least. I'm reaching out to ask for your help we only have tomorrow to sort this. I pray to god that we can get a positive result. Or I may be getting a divorce instead of renewing my vows. My wife and children have sacrificed so much to make this trip happen😩

Kind Regards

By: Greg from QLD, Australia on March 1, 2017 @ 11:02 pm
I've been offered a better offer of job/income overseas. I don't have a outstanding CSA debt, and have advised CSA that Ive ceased employment and have no other income source in Australia. They advised that regardless of my current no income and not being on centrelink payments, i still have to pay the minimum monthly payment of $34.???
Im happy and prepared to pay for my child, but am grudged by the hard tactics and regulations imposed by CSA. My query is if i venture overseas, to a reciprocating country and start work there, how the hell do they find out? my guess would be first through immigration to find out where I land , and then secondly by checking tax system for my details in the country. Would this be a fair assumption, or as some people have advised that as long as i declare myself as a non-resident after 6 months out of the country then CSA have no way of getting at me? does anyone have similar experience or knowledge to be aware of in this situation. I'm planning to leave by Mid march. Any thoughts appreciated.

Beware of entering into any commercial agreement with csa, banks, courts, councils, telcos, tolls, police or any corporate agency from the get go. There is an imbalance in power and all terms and statutes are unilateral weighted in their favour. None has any authority prior any agreement, so don't consent. Only a claim can be made against you if loss has been allegedly caused. So again, beware people of good faith.

Hi
Quick question
Has anyone came across the predicament of the other parent actually working for the CSA?
I put in for a change of circumstance because i am not working at the moment (lovely wife supporting me) i also finally did tax so my taxable is now lower then what they had me estimated at bringing the child support payments down. The other parent has put in an objection about it.. The kicker is she works for the CSA and therefore would know all the ins and outs and the correct things to say. Also how am i sure that the "case" worker is not her friend having a good chat to each other? would love any ideas or info on how to deal
Thanks

Making any agreement with child support agency or any agency of government is where we all go wrong. There is no authority they initially have, just the authority from the terms (their acts and statutes) associated with any agreement you enter into with them. SO BEWARE!!!

Lawyer advised me that after doing DNA my ex can take me to court any day for child support. I just wanted reassurance the child was mine.

If you have consent orders in place did they have a relocation clause in them ? If they didnt she cant move without you agreeing. As you have found them and they are back in your home town the courts wont let her move with them again unless its in her and the kids best interest as in she got a better job or remarried. CSA is in place for a reason so its to be used on the kids and it will have to cover their air fares.Also when you go back to court ask that if she moves ( only on court agreement and your ) she has to cover all costs of travel to you.Also all csa payments can be claimed on tax that started about 2 years ago I think just need proof you pay it

My letter to Kathryn Campbell




Dear Ms Campbell


Congratulations. Last night a friend of mine committed suicide by gassing himself in the car he had been forced to live in by your department. Whilst restricting all access to his children the CSA garnished approx 60% of his wage and left him unable to support himself.

The social/socio-economic repercussions of direct action from your dept is nothing short of disgraceful and inhumane. Homelessness, domestic violence, tax evasion, unnecessary community angst are just some of the issues that you appear happy to turn a blind eye to.

If i had known my friend was in such a bad way i would have offered a roof over his head at least, but it seems the embarrassment he faced everyday and the depression he inherited from not seeing his children and the lifestyle you forced him to live stopped him from reaching out to people who could help, and subsequently led to his death.

You are a disgrace and everything your dept stands for is flawed. You dont care one bit about the children, all you do is promote legally assisting women in this country to use their children as pawns against their fathers.

If your dept wasnt as malicious as it is im sure a large majority of these separated couples would be able to work together in the best interests of their children.

I hope you sleep well at night on your $500k+ salary a yr and blood on your hands, you will forever be known as a murderer and the worst Human Resouces Secretary this country has seen.

R.I.P. TK.......he was a good man, a good father and deserved better. If you would like the details of his funeral so that you can attend and see what your handywork has done first hand i will be happy to pass it on to you, dont expect a kind reception though.


Insincerely yours


G.M.

The 72,625 applications for intervention orders is just Victoria!!... What an abuse of the system

Law firm investigated over alleged abuse of intervention order. A Melbourne law firm is the subject of a police investigation over claims it threatened a man to accept a low valuation of his former matrimonial home or he would be pursued in court over breaches of an intervention order.


The most recent data from the Magistrates Court of Victoria reveals a 10 per cent increase in 2014-15 in the number of applications for intervention orders from the previous year. Most of the 72,625 applications were made by Victoria Police, which has placed a significant strain on the resources of law enforcement agencies and the justice system.

However, Melbourne barrister Michael Challinger​ claimed intervention orders were increasingly being used to provide leverage during legal negotiations, which imposed a significant burden on the court system and police.
He said the legal process required a mechanism to filter out spurious intervention order applications.
"No magistrate wants to make a mistake, then appear on the evening news when an application has been refused and something terrible has happened. But orders do more than restrain violence. Often they separate a man from his children or evict him from his home," Mr Challinger said.

Here's another reason to keep kids from their dads.
ex moved away with boyfriend while i was working FIFO took the 3 children.
She gets max csa payment - 53k/year tax free
She gets the dole and family benefits - 25k/year
I pay my flights to perth from Brisbane job is ex perth
When I see my kids ex demands a return flight for each child before she lets them go..
Ex gets more cash in hand each week then I do and she won't work.

Heres the worst of it..
My daughter finished school and the ex pushed her onto the dole, then charges her rent (more money for ex)
My daughter had enough and came to live with me, they cancelled her dole payment cause of my earnings, yet she can get on the dole living with the ex who rakes more money then I do a week due to benefits and csa..

now the ex is using that as abuse against the daughter,
stay with ex and daughter can go on the dole, (ex gets more rent + CSA)
stay with dad and u have to work as u cant go on the dole..

the dumbass who wrote the legislation really fked things up for the kids..
the ex has been on the dole for 5 years and fked the kids over the get full CSA..anyone else would be in jail for fraud/abuse
but not the women..put your hand up and repeat "domestic violence" 3 times and get anything u want anytime..free legal aid, lifelong benefits.

i don't and never have abused a female or child..current affairs get onto this and shame the ex's and politicians..
the underlying factor to the increase in family violence and abuse ?

att LH68 Be aware I also got stung with choosing to salary sacrifice. I think 1 year i earnt 52,000 but because the tax office sese it as potential income. So they will tell you that because of the tax you saved it goes down as potential earning and they bumped my yearly taxable income to 62,000 even know i didnt earn it, see a solicitor maybe...

Hi... I'm a part-time working mother, divorced from a lazy ____
My ex has filed a CS Claim against me, I owe back pay now and will be left with $320.00 per week to live on. I have my son 50/50 he's brainwashed our daughter to stay with him 100% My son won't stay with me 100% as he's frightened of his fathers actions, as I am. I am thinking of salary sacrificing to reduce taxable income, but not sure how that will effect my payments to him long term, my son is 15yo and daughter 16yo. You hear of men getting screwed, well I can tell you I know a lot of women getting screwed over and losing their children to the courts also. The whole system is flawed, giving so called rights to 13 year old children who are manipulated by a parent. I've been through hell and back and it is still continuing...
