Frequently Asked Questions
How is child custody calculated?
Child Support Agency (CSA) uses a formula based on both parents' incomes, the number of children, their ages, and the care arrangements. We can help you understand and verify this calculation.
Can we make our own child custody agreement?
Yes, you can create a binding child custody agreement or a limited child custody agreement. These allow flexibility and can include non-cash benefits like school fees or health insurance.
What if my ex isn't paying?
If payments aren't being made, we can help you pursue enforcement through the CSA or court. Options include wage garnishment, tax refund interception, and legal action.
Can child custody be changed?
Yes, if circumstances change significantly (income changes, care arrangements change, etc.), you can apply for a change of assessment. We can guide you through this process.
