Demystifying Child Support and CSAs

Child support, as a topic provides a real challenge to most family lawyers and Judges. In an endeavour to make the legislation more "user friendly" the Child Support Agency (CSA) has now produced a document in "plain English" that details the various circumstances that are contained in a s117(2) of the Assessment Act which are the basis upon which a party could seek to change the amount of child support payable. These are referred to as "reasons" and are set out in this seminar.
