Child Support Legislation Needs Changing

Hi my name is Debbie,

My concern with Child Support is that every case is basically classed in the same category they are not based on indervidual needs. So many people are getting away with wroughting the system with Newstart while working cash in hand, or lying about there income by not doing tax returns and CSA have no real proof other than their word.

The government needs to get tougher on child support paying parent's and really look into indervidual circumstances by looking at the lifestyles the supposed paying parents are having, by using bank account's and taxation information even getting investigators back out on to the feild, not just relying on information they are given by disgruntled parents.

Penalties should be harsher for individuals who disregaurd a system put in place to support the upbringing and everyday basic needs required for their children.

I believe the system put in place by CSA/ Government isin't working and needs a complete overhaul to reflect the true cost of raising children, what I propse is for the government to put a fairer legislation in place for all the parties involved.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message, hope you will help by signing so the government will take a serious look at the current legislation.
