The Child Support legislation allows parents to reach an agreement on the amount of Child Support to be paid.

A Child Support Agreement has to meet the requirements of the legislation and has to include matters that can be dealt with in a Child Support Agreement.

From 1 July 2008, there are 2 types of Child Support Agreements:

(a) a Binding Child Support Agreement; and

(b) a Limited Child Support Agreement.

Once parents have made a Child Support Agreement, either parent can apply to the Registrar to have it accepted.
