Child Support estimates (Pre 1 July 2010) 277-07070000



This document outlines the procedures to follow where a parent elects to have their assessment based on an estimate of income pre July 2010.

Overview

Where a parent's income varies significantly from that used in the current child support assessment, the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 allows the parent to elect to have their assessment based on an estimate of income in some circumstances.

This document applies to:

  • WA ex nuptial customers who have an existing estimate that was lodged before 3 March 2011. If these customers lodge a subsequent estimate within the same child support period, the pre-1 July 2010 legislation will continue to apply until the end of that child support period. Once a new child support period begins the post 1-July 2010 legislation will apply to any future estimates. For further information see Child support estimates (post 1 July 2010).
  • customers that have an estimate lodged before 1 July 2010 for a child support period which has not ended

For all other customers, see Child support estimates (post 1 July 2010).

For more information about WA ex nuptial customers, see WA Child Support ex-nuptial cases.
