Child support debt recovery question please.
I am currently owed nearly $30,000 in child support and it is increasing at the rate of $30,000 a year, CSA were collecting the money from the paying parents wages. The paying parent has disappeared, possibly out of the country, he has nil assets on shore except it is possible he still has some funds in an Australian superannuation account which he will be entitled to withdraw at preservation age in 2 years time.
1. Can I ask CSA to pursue legal action to recover the debt from super?
2. Can I apply to the court myself to have the debt (and future child support amounts) recovered from super?
He will also qualify for a UK state aged pension in 7 years time, and also has a private pension account in the UK.
3. If this is still ongoing at that time can CSA ask UK state pension dept to garnish the debt from his aged pension and/or the private pension fund?
Any advice most appreciated. Thank you.
