Child Support

Filed under: Child Support — bobspong @ 8:08 pm

Hi there,

I have some issues around Child Support and wanted to know if there was anyone out there who could offer me some advice.

I have an shared care agreement with my ex 50/50 but are getting stung quite heavily on Child support payments by IRD.

I earn considerably more than my ex but it appears she has reduced her hours of work so the ammount I pay via off setting contines to increase.

My ex and I are also supposed to split all child care costs although I have not recieved any compensation from her in over a year?

What to do?

Bob

    Ashley, here is my understanding. You can check for yourself fromt he IRD web site.

    If you are 19 then you father does not have to pay child support.
    As I understand it you can not “get the money for my self so i can support my self”. If you want your father to support you, why don’t you talk to your father about it?
