At Daykin Family Law, our child support lawyers in Brisbane can help you to understand your obligations or entitlements and provide advice on child support agreements, ensuring your children are provided for appropriately.

Under the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 (Cth), an eligible carer of the child or children is able to seek child support from the other parent. We can help to negotiate on the types of support and amounts available, whether through the Child Support Agency (CSA) or a private agreement.
Equally, if a decision has been made through the Department of Human Services (Child Support Agency) (CSA), Daykin Family Law can guide you on the process to seek a review of the assessment.
Whilst it is not essential to use a child support lawyer in these cases, it is advised in cases where parents wish to come to a private arrangement or appeal a decision made on child support by the CSA. Whilst some cases can be fairly straightforward, it may be essential to ensure that any child support agreement is binding and enforceable. Contact our child support lawyers today. We can also help you with child custody.

To file for divorce, one must submit a divorce application to the appropriate family court. The process typically requires providing evidence that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, demonstrated by a separation period of at least 12 months.
Detailed requirements can vary by jurisdiction, so it’s advisable to consult legal guidance or the court’s website for specific instructions.
The primary ground for divorce in many jurisdictions is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, evidenced by a continuous separation period of at least 12 months. This approach focuses on the fact of marriage breakdown rather than assigning blame or fault to either party.
Mediation in family law is a voluntary process where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement on issues such as divorce, child custody, and property division. The mediator facilitates communication but does not make decisions for the parties.
This process encourages cooperation and can often lead to solutions that are more flexible and suitable for both parties compared to court-ordered judgments.
Child support payments are designed to cover the comprehensive expenses associated with raising a child. These expenses encompass the child’s accommodation, education, medical care, and overall welfare.
The objective is to guarantee that children benefit from sufficient economic support from both parents, addressing their requirements like apparel, nutrition, accommodation, and involvement in after-school activities.
