Aussie Child Tax Paternity Update
Australian men reclaim child support through DNA tests after law change
Australian fathers are reclaiming thousands of dollars in child support payments after a change in the law allowed them to demand DNA tests on children
Peter Dunne(Nothing) could have followed the Aussie lead instead of doing nothing about Paternity Fraud. (Re-spun by academics as Misattributed Paternity)
These children have a fundenental human right to be assured of their Paternity and the rich heritage that is their paternal family.
Come on Peter Dunne Nothing  DO SOMETHING – implement the same law in New Zealand.

Hmmmmmm. Is this another reason to move to Australia?

They can’t and will not. IRD’s function is to gather funds for the republic of lifestyle solo mums.
Child support is seen as a means of offsetting the generous benefit the children and their solo mums get from the state.
First the scheme of 30 per cent of your salary is clearly extortion money.
When you have your children with you, you spend the amount you can afford and that is necessary for the child. That can be 10 Dollars per week , 20, 30, 40, or 1000. Up to you. No one is legislating how much you spend or save for an other purchase, say a bike, that computer game or what ever. You are sovereign! Just as your country is sovereign. With the 30 PER CENT of your salary, you have no control for what your contribution is used for. You work (slave away) and they take 30 % from you.
A workable scheme is one that imposes these conditions:
1 The money goes for the rearing of the children and only.
2 The amount a parent is obligated to pay if parent has access to funds should
be equal to the amount the government would contribute if the child has no
parent. Any extra is up to the parent.
3 child rearing contributions are conditional on inhibited access to that child.
4 All state agencies to work towards discouraging divorce.
I am told the that lifestyle solo mums are on a hunt for that sperm that will guarantee them a salary for the next 6 years. The last child is soon to reach 6 and the law will require them to do ‘some’ work. So watch out for a sudden outburst of ‘affection’

It is still stacked against duped fathers.

THe Aussie law in relation to Child Tax and the right to have a paternity test is a bloody site better than what we have in New Zealand where the legal system is toothless.

Don’t forget that the 30% is just the start, you are then expected to pay for so many other things too!

Unfortunately it may get even worse too.
My information is that a P Dunne Nothing is planning to introduce a new bill for income splitting. So anyone out there who receives child support (40% care or more) may find their ex partners quitting work to avoid paying child support and gaining tax wise from the income split of their partner.
Keep your eyes out for this one….
