Family Law FAQ - Child support have told me I must pay child support. Does this mean I have to see my wife?

Date: February 22, 2011

Q. I've been contacted by child support who informed me that they are assessing my income and that I have to pay child support for my kids.  Does that mean I have to see my wife although we are separated so I can pay her each week?

A. No. The Child Support Agency can deduct the money from your pay or  you can place it in a nominated bank account. There are a few options. Speak to the Agency and they will advise you.
