The law says both parents of a child must give money to support the child.
- The parent caring for children must talk to the other parent about giving money to help.
- If one parent does not want to ask the other parent for money for the child, Centrelink might reduce family tax benefits to that parent.
- Talk to a lawyer if you are worried about what Centrelink says about your payments.
