I pay a lot of child support each week for a single child.
Speaking with Child Support staff and having referenced every call, they have told me that above and beyond my payments I am not required to pay a single cent towards Mortgage, rates, electricity etc etc, however, they cannot reference this in the legislation or their guide other than my payments made are to provide funds for the "primary duty to maintain the child".
The other half refuses to pay the electricity or any other contribution and they continue to fall further in to arrears. I cannot afford to pay either.
Their representation have advised that they cannot pay for anything either.
The electricity will be disconnected by the service provider. I feel the whole guilt game and how could you will be laid out at me again but I have to draw the line somewhere.
How could the courts possibly view this if it is disconnected and my child is then disadvantaged.
I understand if this were in the US, the court would hold the other side in contempt for redirecting funds paid by me.
What is the case here in QLD?
