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!

Question, I currently pay my CS via deductions from my salary as determined by the CSA.
Later this year I am moving over to the UK to work, marry etc...
I plan on still paying my entilements, but outside of the CSA.
Anything I need to be aware of for me to do this. I will of course be returning to Australia every 18 months to spend time with the kids but I currently have 47% care. Huge decision from me and I don't want any nasty surprises

sbob, That's shocking what they have done. You can apply to have the penalties remitted, but (correct me if i'm wrong) they only will remit them if all other CS payments are made first. On each statement it should say the total of the penalties that you can be remitted. What I find wrong about the penalties is that the law is written that the Govt keep the penalties and they are not sent to the parent with the children, THAT'S right IT IS NOT CHILD SUPPORT. How is that "child support"? That's Govt fat ass employee support!... and FRAUD! Try not to talk to them on the phone, do it all in writing so you have a record of what they say. When the time comes you write to them and say something like Dear Child Support Agency, I request remission of all penalties for the amount of $51,362,822.03 and I request a written reply within 7 days of the date of this letter. Regards blah blah.

hi there, can others give me advice please.. the history of my problem started in 2010 when i recieved a call from child support saying I owed them over $8000 because i under estimated my income in 2004, 2006 and 2008. For the 6 years it took them to tell me i owe moneys I worked part time and casual jobs so it was always difficult to estimate proper in come, I said to them they would need to wait before I pay it back as they took 6 years to tell me this news. Since 2010 late payment fees etc now has me owing lets say $12,000, actual child support owing is about $5,000 and late payment fees are the balance,, how serious are they CSA when they tell me i can apply to not pay late payment fees etc.?
for some time now ive cared for my son 6 nights in the fortnight but the monthly estimate is saying i should be paying say about $184 a month but the have been some times talking out 40-48% of my second job, last fortnight my second job paid $680 and I have noticed they took out atleast $320 from that, i was left with $360, my rent alone is $620 for the fortnight. one lady at csa mentioned i could file for hardship, i am back at my first job now and they are not taking any from there now, at one stage they took out 11% from both jobs. I negotiated with some one there for just taking that from one job. i did not recieve any noticed they were going to ask my employer for $159 a week they told me they tried to contact me to discuss it but i didnt get a call from there, i told them they could have sent me a letter online but they didnt, has any one gwt any advice??

Don, It doesn't surprise me that they selectively disadvantage a payer. A few years back I received copies of 5 years of documents from them for no reason, nothing had changed so i had no idea why. In a letter I asked them why and the response was "You are under investigation"... What the? I hadn't done anything wrong, maybe my ex initiated it, i don't know, but for some reason they decided to target me and found nothing!!. It was a total abuse of laws and a total waste of money and caused concern for no reason. It was then I realised how narcissistic the staff are playing a power trip.

RoBbEd.. Child Support Acts, Regulation and Secretary' require they do the right thing. However , underling all this is a inbuilt bias whereby they selectively chose to disadvantage the payer
Check out "Child Support (Assessment) Regulations 1989" in particular part 7 which no one in child support will tell you about.
This has to do with all aspects of income acceptance by CS

Don't rely on the DHs, PHs, DHS's and other agents and trustees of the state to help, they live in a different world, it's just us common brothers and sisters who go through this heartbreaking shit.

Ask yourself, do you as a man have a contract with a fiction named CSA? Bahhh.. Get them to prove you do.

All tom foolery and christ knows how many fathers have been sucked in over the years, sending many over the edge through not realising there is no debt. Whilst ignorance of law is no excuse, shame...shame...shame on all those agents who partake in such fraud.

Hey Kris, I am sorry for your pain and negative experiences. As you can see you are not alone in this shitty situation. Did you gain any knowledge of potential flaws in the mafia's processes or procedures that you can share with those of us who are still willing to act to challenge this crap system for the future of our sons and daughters who may someday be faced with the same systematic oppression? There is little ego involved when the intent is to improve the situation for our future citizens. No doubt this is a war on our Civil Rights and those who instigate this war will have free rein if we don't stand and say NO. The war is over and the oppression will escalate if we don't stand against it. We need soldiers like you brother. Stand with us and help build the knowledge bank opposing them. Take care brother

Hi to all paying parents csa/family flaw multi billion dollar racket destroying families and creating the new stolen generation and domestic violence.
Like many others i use this site to vent out my frustration and maybe spread some awareness. Otherwise i would be a bottled up anger monkey.
I have been through this long enough and understand things very well not just the csa. The whole csa/family flaw is a product of this system/left regime , and if you want to change any of it you need to change the system otherwise its just a futile quest to satisfy your own personal blind ego. But good luck if thats what you want to do,its your choice. It not nice to read what can or cant be said on this site by people. Thats what the csa does to us very well is dictate and force.
Isn't that what political correctness does , censorship through intimidation.
Ive fought the csa,legal maggots the ex,sick of it ,dont need to come here and wrestle some more. Besides i do enough of fighting the fight in my inner circles.
Revolution dreaming.

By: RoBbEd from VIC, AUST on February 5, 2017 @ 2:33 am
Don, thanks for the reply.. Thats my whole point -> 112 Court may grant leave to amend administrative assessment that is more than 18 months old.

Why is the court involved when CSA have a job to do and their own laws prevent them from doing that job making it more difficult, time consuming and costly for anyone to have anything corrected? Maybe it's free but time is money. The courts also cost taxpayers money... Judges are paid money... Its a huge expense all because someone wrote that CSA cant go back more than 18 months.

its a lot more complex... I was self-employed and about 8 years ago i was fined $120k by the ATO for late returns with interest... About 2 years ago I was successful in having the interest remitted (forgiven) but that amount is then considered income and added to your real income... (adjusted income)... (e.g. you earn $60k and they add $120k, so you pay tax on $180k) CSA then take the $180k as your income and charge Child Support on that... Its a systematic fault in the system... I filed a special circumstances and CSA agreed it was wrong and reduced some of it but because of the Act refused to go back further than 18 months and refused to include one child that had finished with child support.... Then at the end of the last financial year, (for some unknown stupid reason) it automatically went back to child support on $180k. I submitted an estimated income and they refused it.... I should not have to keep submitting special circumstances (and bare my ass and soul) and estimated incomes when medical records already provided prove my incapacity to work... I should not have to start a court case or the AAT for their own systematic failures when they agree its wrong... WTF is wrong with these people??.... Another systematic fault is when medical records are presented they have no idea what they are looking at, and words they have never seen before... so they take the attitude of "it can't be that bad" or "maybe he is making it up"... CSA refused to allow me to claim medical expenses as a deduction from my "adjusted income" in some form of fairness that i'm disadvantaged....My medical reports state "permanent chronic illness", how much more do they want?...They have no concept of how physically ill this disease has made me and how disadvantaged my life has become... so all that aside, I have two options, pay the money or start a case... Like the Tax laws, the CS laws are written so that CSA can bend the rules to maximize pain and suffering... Which, if abused, is a "misfeasance" in public office.... If I had the energy and money I would sue each and every staff member from ATO and CSA that has made any decision to make my life harder.

Misfeasance

noun, Law.

1. a wrong, actual or alleged, arising from or consisting of affirmative action.
2. the wrongful performance of a normally lawful act; the wrongful and injurious exercise of lawful authority.



And btw... As of the end of 2016 i'm now finished with CS...Which also makes it harder because they say "case is closed, you had your chance"..... i just have to clean up these loose ends...

TIP: If CSA ever tell you that you can't claim medical expenses you MUST object because you can... It came back on their report that I didn't object when they refused, so they didn't do anything.

RoBbEd...please note Child Support will never tell you the truth or just enough truth to send you up a blind alley.
Did you put in tax returns over this three year period?
if you did your assessment for the new financial year should be based on the tax assessment not some previous year higher income. they just cant keep using an older period if they have the new tax amount.
You CAN get them to go back more than 18 Months.

read and understand "guides.dss.gov.au/child-support-guide/4"

Get all your medical records together , a letter from your doctor and any specialists, organize yourself and send complaint to AAT (a special independent adjudicator) no cost.
make sure you insist that CS in on the phone during hearing and not your EX (done over the phone)

THE AAT can also have penalties removed if you put it in your submission
You need to read this from
"Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989"

112 Court may grant leave to amend administrative assessment that is more than 18 months old

(1) If an application is made to a court under section 111, the court may grant leave for:

(a) the Registrar to make a determination under section 98S; or

(b) the court to make an order under section 118.

(2) The court may grant leave for an order to be made under section 118 if the court is satisfied that it would be in the interest of the parties to the proceeding for the court to consider, at the same time as it hears the application under section 111, whether an order should be made under section 118. If the court does so, the applicant is taken to have made an application to the court under section 116 for such an order.

(3) Otherwise, the court may grant leave for the Registrar to make a determination under section 98S.

I'm appalled at what they are doing to all of us. I have always tried to do the right thing. I became ill 3 years ago with a permanent illness (i wont ever recover) and CSA ignored it. I've now been charged about $5,000 more than what i should be paying because i fell behind due to the illness and didn't apply to have it changed in time. The Act states that they cannot go back more than 18 months and the only way to correct it is to take them to court. It's just unbelievable that they can get away with this!!! They know I have an illness, they know they have over charged me, yet the Act prevents them correcting it. They keep charging me more because the penalties are based on daily compounding interest rates from the Tax Act. This is plain and simple oppression, and i bet i'm not the only one this has happened to. If i refuse to pay it just gets bigger.... Had enough of these asswipes

CSA needs to be removed ASAP. one more person lost down this system is one too many I hope everyone has someone they can lean on when everything is on their shoulders

By: don from nsw, Australia on February 3, 2017 @ 5:53 pm
Hi Trevor Watson They simply cant do that. CS is based on income not assets.
They cant lock you in into the future if you do an estimate.
You can only be charged 3 Months CS back pay from time of AFC
(check they did this correctly) (some times 9 months)
If they did not do the AFC correctly you may have a case with the AAT despite delay due to not being informed.
rental return is income( but under separate law some may be a tax deductible)
please note no responsibility taken for suggestions although they are based on my battle.

Hey Don, I have requested Cuba notes and recordings. I did tell them I was not working and honestly declared my rental income from renting my property out while I was away. They sent me a letter stating. They claimed I had $80000 in savings and therefore I would not be placed into financial hardship. This $80000 was a line of credit it was debt not savings. My NEW Case manager is from the CSA legal section I am told. Part of the 15/16 financial year I was a good boy and paid all child support through private arrangement. This was not taken into account. This is a point of procedural stuff up. They tell me nothing will change regardless of my lower income as I am locked in at $82000 until 2018. I was sick and emailed doctors certificates and DR notes. They kept saying I refused to provide medical evidence then they asked me to provide evidence of the cost of my counselling and prescriptions. I had had enough and tried to heal myself and traveled Australia. I get back and here we go round the mulberry bush again. I have booked in to do some counselling next Thursday and I will work on all the points you have raised Don. Thanks mate

By: Don from NSW, Australia on February 3, 2017 @ 4:31 pm
Hi Trevor Watson....Sorry for the delay ,i had to have another coffee to handle this S---.
If you had no job for a period your tax return will show less income so when the new year tips over they must use this as your next year new assessment.
Important .. if you then start earning above this average and don't tell them they will hit you with heavy penalties when the next year trips over.
If you start earning more you can do an estimate ,either before end June for full year or any time for remainder of the year.see section 60 of Child Support (administration)act.
Now ... Did you tell them you were not working? If you did they should apply section 65A and 65B of the ACT,(but they never do) this should reduce your assessment to $1060PA.
They never report this on their Cuba notes so ask them to send copies of Cuba notes and copies of the voice recordings the take on every call and compare them. They cannot refuse you this request.
Compare them if you told them SQUEEZE.
Changing your case officer is another tactic they use to delay. confuse and stuff you. Insist on keeping the same one.
Remind them of the Objects of the act (read it yourself at the top of the act)
They only by law are to make decisions according to the act or the Registrars directive.
You cant sue the Federal Gov but remind them that they can personally sued for damages if they don't follow the law. Gets their attention.
As for letters .... Check that they have your correct address and insist on a copy of that Cuba note call this will prove they have your correct address. With me they sent mail to a 20 old address and failed to update my phone number.
When you get "assessment letters" read the whole thing , the last few lines give you 28 days to object ( but more if you have special circumstance.. their is a list of these somewhere if you cant find i will look for you.
As for your 15/16 $42000actual earnings i think what they have done is that you must of earned more in 14/15 and they have recalculated on a under "estimate" which allows them to multiply your???error and put on penalties.
Section 55J tell them how to "GENERALLY" work out your new assessment. they follow this and ignore other provisions ie, not working.
Going forward you need to do an "partial Year ESTIMATE" section 62A of the act . Before you do work out all your income from June 30 last year till the day you do the "Estimate" over the phone ok but get Cuba Notes and recording.
Important .. if you start to earn more overtime etc you must keep abreast and report you extra before end of year .Do your tax return as soon as you can.
if you are not working 65A and 65B above should come into play
As for going forward you should do a partial year "estimate' if you are working or going back to work.
I don't think it costs anything to take them to AAT but you must know where they did not follow the AC. As for your delay did you have medical (Stress,etc) problems this allows an extension
Did you have a court registered "agreement" this locks parties in to some extent.
If you had a "private collect" she can only claim 3 months back pay from the time she made her "AFC" "application for collection"
If she made an "AFC" CS had to ask her certain questions which would (should of seen you get a phone call to confirm), They forget this bit. chase the case officer on this they will try to hide it.
Also push them to drop the penalties .it is within their power.
Good luck

By: Trevor Watson from NSW, Australia on February 3, 2017 @ 12:49 pm
Thanks heaps Don your a legend. My case officer is now from the Debt Recovery Legal branch. They have changed my case officer 3 times. I have not gone to AAT yet as I have intentionally avoided all courts and have not come to any agreement with these thieves. I took leave without pay for 12 months and they locked me in at earning $82000 until 2018. I roamed the country for 12 months and returned to a $22000 debt. I have requested the CUBA notes and the application for hardship payment. They reassessed my true income at $42000 for 15/16 financial year yet said that it does not effect the $82000 15/16 assessment and they continue charging $370 per week and of course their bullshit fees. My ex reniged on our parenting agreement and I don't see my beautiful 3 children. I have taken another year LWP living off nothing. Can't go back as they will just start stealing from me. My assets are in others names it is cat and mouse at the mo. Thanks for your guidance Don I will look into it.

Hi Trevor Watson check out this site
"http://guides.dss.gov.au/child-support-guide/4/1/3"
Fill out a complaint if they refuse make sure of your grounds and advance your case to the "AAT" within 28 days of their refusal. make sure to tell AAT that it a procedural problem and that CS must be on the phone hook up and not your EX. despite what this says +they must follow the rules, your problem is to work out what rules they didn't follow. Don

By: Don from NSW, Australia on February 3, 2017 @ 10:06 am
Hi Trevor Watson... If you don't want CS involved you can get an "court registered maintenance agreement;"..with your ex. Should be done thru a layer to hopefully avoid future troubles.
Another option is to have your case revert to private collect. Make sure you pay to ex,s bank account only(no Cash or goods)
CS staff can only make decisions in line with the ACT's that govern it. BUT THEY GO WELL BEYOND THIS. You must get to know how the screwed you. They will not tell you your rights and deliberately miss lead you from my experience.
Send a formal complaint to your "case officer" (make sure you have one ,these are higher up the BS ladder" ) A complaint must be about failure to follow the ACTs. Send a copy to "THE Secretary of CS"
Also look at my entries below for important(hidden) web sites.
In the The "operation...." site refer back to the "separated parents" heading in the black column on the left.
Good luck

trevor what we need is to disrupt the system by having a petition get 100000 signatures and if we are not heard every one should stop paying CSA, we would make the policy makers in this country to stop and listen. I am not saying that you go out and spend the CS money but keep it aside until we our voices have been heard. stop paying CS NOW who is with me
 
1630. By: Don from nsw, Australia on February 2, 2017 @ 2:56 pm
Hi Pas ,.. If you had "private collect" Then the EX applied for an AFC see"http://operational.humanservices.gov.au/public/Pages/separated-parents/277-04030000-03.html" which is generally only three months back pay if she elected to do so. This can go to 9 Months Max. See "http://guides.dss.gov.au/child-support-guide/5/1/4" Defiantly not longer.
Note that you have an opt in period and that you should have got a letter from them requesting back pay. read the fine print

My Mother lent me her life savings $30,000 just to keep afloat and be able to see my kids (under supervision at $95 per hour, never any violence by the way, all made up shit from her with a VRO)and the wonderful Child Separation and Alienation people CSA said its wages and put the child support up to $1,200 per month.
F'n great when your not working and on new start.
Now they are taking $48 per fortnight to pay the arrears but still leaving it at $1,200 per month and they new about the loan all the way through.
Human fuck'n services hey???

My best wishes boys.

Hey Kris, Don has made some great practical suggestions worth giving a shot. It has worked for him. You seem to have accepted your fate by projecting forward 5yrs. We need to believe that we can change our circumstances otherwise we become victim to this rort. This just feeds and motivates the arseholes who continue to steal from their fellow man/woman. Only WE can change this.

Kris you said it "RIGHT MATE" the whole system is a machine designed to keep us all under "FULL CONTROL" And the maggots get rich and us kept poor"! that automatically gives them power to do whatever it takes to keep us there "UNDER CONTROL"
There is no hope
We are all fucked
Even if somebody did manage to get up and attempt to change things would be kicked out sacked ridiculed or accused of some bullshit to justify kicking them out to "MAINTAIN FULL AND ULTIMATE CONTROL"
Our governement is in place to keep us in our place that is their job
so what do you think they are going to do if one of us gets up and upsets their little luxury nest????
pretty easy fkn awnser

FUCK THE SYSTEM
AND FUCK ANYONE WHO AGREES WIH THEM

Hi to all paying parents, csa/ family flaw multi billion dollar racket destroying families and creating the new stolen generation and domestic violence.
In 2022 I'll say fk off to csa ,after 17.5 years of paying top dollar,for a child taken to another state,without my consent.
My son will say fk off to me after 17.5 years of being lied to poisoned and isolated from me.
I think that petitions or other group actions wont do too much. Do you think these scum lawers and legal maggots/politicians ,who make billions on this bullshit show called family law, will just walk away from their money bag and their lifestyle it gives them?. The legal system is buddy buddy with those scum politicians .
Maybe try contacting crocodile dundee or Russell Crowe or even dick smith to shed some light on this fking disaster.
2022 this sentence is over for me and im counting every day.
Revolution dreaming, Trump 2 for OZ.

Keith Owen as you face book group seems a good idea, but its just another avenue the CSA can monitor and if people put there real names on there face book account it just makes it easier for CSA snoop on your members

I just won Back $3500 from a faulty ":estimate" some hints to follow:
1.Keep a dairy of each contact Date receipt no person
2.Insist on copy of Cuba notes posted to you, These are the notes they put on their computer. Mostly will be lies,
Insist on copy of recording they make with each call
3. check your recollection or recording received against Cuba notes
4.Insist on a case Manager from day one. This pushes you up the ladder to a higher level and prevents you getting calls from all over Australia by people that know nothing of your case.
5. If you had been "private collect" then changed to "agency collect" you have on "opt in time to respond" of at least 28 days. All CS staff will deny this and lock in the generally requested three month back pay
5 Do not give them your email, Insist on post.
6. Do not give them an estimate until you understand all its implications
7.http://operational.humanservices.gov.au/public/Pages/SiteMap/separated-parents.html use this to find their rules
8. Also use this http://guides.dss.gov.au/child-support-guide/4/1
9. don't be afraid to send a "formal complaint" if they have not followed the rules
10 If you have no money to pay they will record this as a "refusal to pay" and will not tell you you can apply not to pay anything under financial hardship
"Change of assessment in special circumstances (CS) 277-03120000" and/ or "Minimum annual rate to nil - Reducing child support assessments 277-03100000"
11. If coming of "private collect" this means your ex has applied under an "AFC" "Application for Child Support to be collected 277-04030000" despite what the document says The "acceptance date" is when the request was placed it cant be locked in for at least 28 days after. If hassled get a letter from them refusing to change and take them to the "AAT"
12. Put in your letter to AAT that this is strictly a procedural thing and that Child Support should be on the phone when determining the outcome other wise it will be your ex on the phone

Hi Folks, I admin a Facebook group called "Child Support Australia - Time for Reform and Fairness". We currently sit at around 5,400 members. Out of this group we have commenced some significant activities and have formed a sub group intending to lodge formal complaints to the Human Rights Commission. We have also conducted our own research and found (surprise surprise) extensive corruption and systemic official misconduct. We have some political support and our research is about to be tabled in Parliament for us by a sympathetic Senator. We have lots more planned. Why not join us over at this group - look for us on Facebook.

Pas and Jimmy

Pas - don't think she can back date anything 3 years. 3 months is the most from memory, but if you had an agreement, and you met that agreement, then I find it difficult to think she could get anything turned over - contract is contract.

jimmy - have just been through those processes, so if you want to chat about it, give me your contact info and I will give you a call.

Hey there you blokes, if you are getting hassled by the CSA here is something you can do".

Laurie Fittock
CSA Help
Adelaide
lfittock@csha.com.au
0498587673
0407782228

I was paying the wrong amount by far', and he helped me get a new assesment that saved me a shitload... it cost me about 1200 for 1 years representation but those people dont call me anymore they have to call him and he deals with them he calls me from time to time to touch base is all.
Now we are persueing the 900 days i was out of the country and not a resident for tax purposes where on return CSA charged me for the whole time i was away based on the assesment in place at the time i was still in the country..... it was a shit load and the only way you CANNOT" be held responsible for paying child support is in their legislation and it is if your dead or a non resident for tax purposes which i was... And they did not give a fuck about the legislation it was the perception of a csa representative and she made that decision so we are fighting that to get compensation from them ... then i am going to sue them for whatever i can.

So in terms of help and good advice for you.... give Laurie a ring and tell him Lenny from darwin on F4J Website put you on to him have a talk and he will either be able to help or not but he morethanlikely will be able to help you.

I tell you that it has been soooooo good not having to deal with csa on the phone or at all just let laurie and his team do it and you can at least keep your sanity

Just thought id share that bit of good news
stay strong keep your shit together i know its hard but theres more than one way to skin a cat

We need a massive protest Australia wide to show how serious we are and take a stance towards the government in the streets this is a joke and we can't just talk about it let's do something.
