The Child Support Service (CSS) is a small unit within the Family Law Division of Legal Aid NSW. There are 7 lawyers in the unit who only deal with Child Support issues. They are based in the Parramatta office and advise in clinics every day of the week.
Child support problems are a mix of Family Law and Government Law.
The Child Support Agency was set up by the Government to assess and collect the amounts that separated parents should pay for the support of their children. The process of assessing and collecting these amounts can be complicated and the Child Support Service can advise on how to navigate this process and deal with the problems.
Child support is a complicated system so if you have a matter that involves child support, the CSS want to hear about it.
