SA A Question on Child Support Application

[Prakash]

When a parent makes a child support application, how long until they start taking payments from the time they've lodged the applications.

 

[Tremaine]

Depends how long it takes to get in touch with the other parent to confirm the details of the application (like percentage of care, etc.).

The other parent has 100 percent care

Payments start from the time of application. So they will back date... It could take them some time to get in touch and get it sorted, but they will assess that time as a debt
