Where you have a child support agreement in
place
If you have a hearing or speech impairment, you can contact the
TTY service on Freecall™ 1800 810 586. A TTY phone is required to
use this service.
An agreement is a written document, signed by both parents, setting
out how much child support should be paid. If you are applying for
continuation of your agreement, the other parent may also need to
sign this form.
If your child support assessment started with a child support
agreement and the agreement states that child support is to end
when the child turns 18 years of age, the child support assessment
cannot be extended.
If you are not sure how your agreement might affect this application
call us on 131 272.
